He is Risen.

He is risen! Hallelujah! 🙌

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036. "If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me. And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance. And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

The Burial of Jesus🇻🇦 Most people rush past the burial of Jesus to get to the Resurrection, but if you slow down and sit in this moment, you will realize something powerful. The Son of God did not just die. He was carried, wrapped, and placed into a real tomb. Not a symbol. Not a metaphor. A cold, sealed place where dead bodies go. And that changes everything. After Jesus breathed His last on the cross, a man named Joseph, of Arimathea stepped forward. He was a respected member of the council, someone who had been waiting for the kingdom of God. He went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. This alone is significant because aligning yourself with Jesus at that moment was risky. The crowds had turned. The leaders had condemned Him. Yet Joseph stepped in, took the body, wrapped it in clean linen, and laid Him in his own new tomb that had been cut out of rock. This is recorded in Matthew 27:59–60 and John 19:40–42. Nicodemus, who once came to Jesus at night, now shows up in the open carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes. About seventy-five pounds worth. That is not a casual burial. That is the kind of preparation given to royalty. They wrapped Jesus according to Jewish burial customs. Every detail matters. The same body that had been beaten, pierced, and crucified was now carefully handled and laid to rest. This moment confirmed something the world needed to know. Jesus truly died. There was no illusion. No survival. No near-death experience. His body was lifeless. The burial removes every argument that tries to say He only fainted or somehow escaped. The Gospel stands on the reality that He fully entered death. But here is where it goes deeper than most people realize. The tomb was new. No one had ever been laid in it before. That means there was no confusion about whose body it was. No mixture of remains. No possibility of misidentification. Heaven was removing every shadow of doubt before the Resurrection ever happened. Even more, the act of wrapping Him in linen speaks louder than we think. Earlier in His life, when Lazarus came out of the tomb, he came out still wrapped in grave clothes and needed others to remove them. But when Jesus would rise, the grave clothes would be left behind. This burial is setting up a contrast. What holds humanity in death cannot hold Him. Through the finished work of Jesus, this burial was not just the end of His life. It was the burial of sin itself. Scripture says He bore our sins in His body. That means when His body was laid in that tomb, everything that separated humanity from God was being put away with Him. Not managed. Not covered temporarily. Put away. For us today, this means your old life has already been buried with Christ. You are not trying to bury your past. You are not trying to clean yourself up enough for God to accept you. In Him, your old identity has already been carried to the tomb. This is why Romans 6:4 says we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised, we too might walk in newness of life. Practically, this changes how you deal with guilt, shame, and past mistakes. When those thoughts come, you do not wrestle with them trying to fix yourself. You remind yourself that what you are being accused of has already been buried. It has already been placed in the tomb with Jesus. You are not that person anymore. And this is where rest comes in. You do not have to strive to become new. You are living from what has already been finished. Just like His body was fully placed in that tomb, your old life was fully dealt with. Nothing was left undone. You can rest knowing that when the stone was rolled in front of that tomb, it was not just sealing His body inside. It was sealing your old life away for good. Our Lord Jesus Christ has died, and is now buried. But Sunday is coming🇻🇦

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.' ☩ Chuck Norris 1940-2026

It is an honor to represent my country at the WBC. Go USA 🇺🇸 @PlayersTribune theplayerstribune.com/paul-skenes-ml…

I want to know why an issue that 84% of Americans agree on — the SAVE America Act — isn’t the number 1 priority of our Senate.

@DandyChigginsMD @3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse And lived in Egypt, PA for a bit when he was little 😂

@3YearLetterman @WhiteHouse Correct. Jesus was born in Bethlehem Pennsylvania and lived in Nazareth Pennsylvania. Only 9 miles apart.

America is ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

@derrico_henrio They could bother doing something about the fraud instead of continuing to fund it too, but nah.

Would it kill the Republicans to write legislature to help the young men in their 20s who won them the election? Noooo let’s help the most spoiled generation in US history out some more!

@HFLarry69 @TCUCarterBoys Same. We were robbed that year. @FBCoachP would have had a ‘14 Natty listed on his HoF resume if they let us in that year.

@TCUCarterBoys I’ll never get over this one.

You think you can hurt me? I watched my team fall from 3-6 on the last CFP rankings after beating Iowa State 55-3

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink Since they dumped the 10gb plan and changed the pause to a monthly fee, it wouldn’t surprise me if in 6 months they decide they need to charge more since they changed the 50 to 100.

NEWS: SpaceX has doubled the amount of data you get with your @Starlink Roam plan to 100GB (up from 50GB), at no additional cost. “Your plan now includes 100GB of high-speed data at no additional cost—so you can stay connected wherever you roam.”
