Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. ~John 19:30
Today He died, but it wasn't the end of the story. We solemnly remember His painful death on the cross and wait with anticipation. Three days later He rose from the dead!
Collecting Ebenezers as I travel through life. "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” 1 Samuel 7:12
Thanks be to God that it wasn't the end of the story. Remembering the agony of that death, we have the knowledge and faith to anticipate the glorious joy of Easter. Blessings to you, Tamara!
