Two of the men were convicted thieves. The other man sinless. He was unfairly convicted. This man called Jesus was fully man & fully God.
He started preaching at the age of 30. He was known as an exceptional teacher, mighty healer, drove out evil spirits & followed by many. His ministry came to end after THREE years.
At the cross stood His faithful disciple John, Salome & THREE Mary's - His mother, Mary the wife of Clopas & Mary Mag'dalene. (John 19:25)
During His last moments He spoke THREE words, "It is finished". Then "he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." (John 19:30). He died at the age of thirty THREE.
Then THREE supernatural things followed. The curtain of the temple was torn in two, the earth shook & the tombs also were opened where many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. (Matthew 27:51-52)
His followers fled & hid. The faithful ones went home sad & crying.
Then silence & darkness followed.
Did God lose this battle? Was the evil one the winner?
Is this THE END? Does silence mean God is gone?
Don't lose hope. Wait for THREE DAYS. WAIT for God. Because silence does not mean God is not present. Silence doesn't mean He does not care.
Lord, increase my faith that in the midst darkness I may wait for you because you are God. You will be victorious! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
