Two Days after Resurrection Day

What had the priests done about that temple curtain torn from top to bottom? Had they proceeded with the Passover sacrifices as if nothing was different? Move along, move along, nothing to see here?

"Everyone" was still talking about the empty tomb, some to deny the resurrection, others to affirm it--not unlike today.

Some had probably just gone about their business of daily life; what was one more dead-or-not Jew to them?

Some may have still been in hiding, unsure.

Two days after Resurrection Day, which category do you fit into? Do you offer your sacrifices of works still, expecting them to be necessary yet? Do you talk about Easter and the great time you had celebrating it with friends, family, egg hunts, et al? Do you shrug the story of the event off as having nothing to do with you? Are you hiding your faith in Christ, unsure what response you will have from others should you reveal it?

Two days after....

Keep in mind and heart these five essentials regarding Christ:

Crucified,

Risen,

Ascended,

Returning

--What else?

A life perfectly lived so that it could be counted righteous for those for whom Christ was--

Crucified,

Risen,

Ascended,

And will be

Returning--

Consider Him.
