DAILY?READINGS: Leviticus 27; Psalms 142-143; Mark 11:1-26

Who was delivered for our offences and raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25

As we look back to the cross, we exclaim, “What has God done?” and as we look at the empty tomb, we again exclaim, “What has God done?” At the cross the Lord Jesus “obtained eternal redemption for us,” (Heb. 4:12). In His glorious resurrection He triumphed over sin, death and the grave and He assures us, because “I live ye shall live also” (John 14:19). Today as we look into an empty tomb we proclaim, “This is the glory of the risen Christ.” What assurance we have in this living hope! —Jim Comte

Because He lives I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives. —W. and G. Gaither
