This morning I read the Bible text of Christian Light Publication’s Sunday School lesson for April 24, 2011. Here are some excerpts from Mark 15:42—16:11…

Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God…

And he…took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre…

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here…

He appeared first to Mary Magdalene…

And they, when they had heard that that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

Jesus’ death — how do I know it wasn’t history’s greatest scam?

Is it true that God died once upon a time?

What a beautiful Divine witness of Joseph of Arimathaea! Makes me wonder again: What is God’s witness of me?

According to the Scriptures, what should be my response to this historical event?

“And when the sabbath was past…” — what might be the theological and practical truth(s) revealed in that statement?

I am so thankful…

Their Redeemer is strong.

I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins.

Mighty to save. — Able to keep you from falling. — Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.

He is able … to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him.

Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?
