“Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table;
and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart,
because they did not believe
those who had seen Him after He had risen.
And He said to them,
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
~Mark 16:14-15, NKJV~

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
FOR A MOMENT, stretch your imagination…
The manger was near Bethlehem’s sheep pastures, and the shepherds were summooned by heaven. They were Jews, caring for sheep. At the same time the priests had their eye on breeding a particular quality of lambs, those without spot or blemish.
Now fast forward thirty-three years. When Jesus is making His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the shepherds are bringing in the sheep, and particular attention is paid to the candidates for the Passover sacrifices. As Jesus is being tried by Pilate, the priests are carefully examining those sheep. As they are satisfied they are saying, “I see no blemish in this one…” Perhaps about that time Pilate is saying, “I find no fault in Him.” As the blade is put to the throats of the lambs, the nails are driven into the hands of Jesus. He was, after all, the perfect Lamb of God. Glenn Colley
“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things,
like silver or gold,
from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
but with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
1 Peter 1:18-19
Jesus is the reason for Good Friday!
