  He is Not Here for He is Risen as He Said Who is Jesus? Chapter 52 The Burial of Jesus Now there was a rich man named Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.  This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. So Pilate summoning the centurion soldier, he asked him whether Jesus was indeed dead.  The soldier said, yes, for just to make sure, I thrust my sword into his side, and out came blood and water.  Yes, indeed he is most certainly dead.  And when Pilate learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. So, they took the body of Jesus and wrapped...

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 51 “It is Finished”   Now the soldiers crucified Jesus at the third hour of the day, which would be 9 o'clock in the morning. And when it was noon time, there fell a thick darkness over the entire land for three hours. The darkness lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. This darkness was because the sins of the world were placed upon the body of Jesus, including all sickness, disease, plus depression and loneliness and pain was put on Jesus. Because of this God could not bear to look at him. God turning his back on Jesus was pain enough to break Jesus's heart. Reading from - - 1 Peter 2:24 Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. Finally, Jesus could take it no longer and at the sixth hour which was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, He cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my Go...

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 50 The Soldiers Mock Jesus After Pilate had cruelly flogged Jesus, he gave him over to the soldiers. Then the soldiers of Pilate the governor took Jesus into the palace arena, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. They stripped Jesus and put a scarlet robe on him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, putting it on his head and placing a reed in his right hand. Kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. When they had mocked him, they stripped off the purple robe and put his own clothes back on him and led him away to crucify him. And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. So, they took Jesus out, having him bear his own cross, and as they led him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it b...

Who is Jesus? Chapter 49 Jesus is Delivered to Pilate  Today's happening is mentioned in each of the four Gospels and is re-told here so that you might believe that Jesus Christ is your Messiah.  When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they bound him and led him away from the Chief Priests house and delivered him over to Pilate the governor. So, Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”  They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.  Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and ...
