Easter weekend 2010

The thief dying on the cross next to Jesus' cross wasn't concerned that 10,000 angels had not come to save Jesus; that He had not saved Himself; that all the scoffers, scorners, torturers hadn't been struck down. He looked upon Jesus and saw the King. In simple faith he requested, "Remember me when you come into Your Kingdom." His answer: "Today thou shalt be with Me in Paradise."... And the Roman centurian, unlike Pilate who asked "What is Truth?" but cared more for political expediency than the answer, witnessed the Crucifiction and seeing the dying Christ saw the Living Truth. In awe and wonder, he confessed, "Truly this was the Son of God."... This weekend as many honor Good Friday and celebrate Easter, may there be those whose eyes and ears and hearts are open to recognize Jesus for Who He truly is -- King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Saviour, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
