“And he departed from our sight, and we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.“ Arthur Schopenhauer...

Have you ever wondered about the profound impact of these three pivotal days? Was His absence a purposeful act? He taught us to forgive, saying they know not what they do. Did the people eventually grasp the far-reaching consequences of their actions? Did some hearts swell with sorrow? Did some souls demonstrate remorse? Did some kneel in humility, seeking forgiveness? Was redemption still within reach?

Jesus raised Lazarus from death's grip almost instantaneously, so why did the events surrounding His death and resurrection take 3 days?  

It is not written. But I believe He needed to heal Himself spiritually.

Did the heartache of abandonment pierce His heart and wound His beautiful soul?

Have you ever contemplated whether the pain diminished on the cross, or did it persist as His spirit underwent a divine transformation, atoning for the sins of humanity is a monumental task. As His glory returned, His Spirit was liberated to restore Him to His divine Holy state.

Who goes through such a horrific event unscathed??  Did the Holy Spirit of God take Him in His loving arms and soothe His pain? 

God made us in His image, and He also grieves. He grieves when we fail to acknowledge Him as our supreme Creator, our heavenly Father, our glorious three-in-one - the Holy Father, His beautiful Son Jesus, and the magnificent Holy Spirit!

I humbly ask you to bow your head with me and recognize Him as your amazing Savior! The Holy One!!! The only one true God!! 

It's Him! It will always be HIM!! 

 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 NIV
