The Seed Is in the Ground

Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever been buried.
– John 19:41

The perfect Lamb of God was offered. Jesus went from a virgin womb to a virgin tomb, where no one had ever been buried.

The flawless, incorruptible Seed that would change everything forever was planted in the ground. Would there be a harvest on the Seed God had planted?

Now everyone waited. Heaven waited, earth waited, hell waited. Would there be a resurrection, or would God forever be branded a liar? Would the spotless Lamb of God fulfill God’s purpose, or would the precious Son of God be forever known as a murdered sacrifice?

Some of the disciples seemed to forget the words Jesus spoke to them regarding His resurrection: And if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to Myself (John 12:32).

Never finish writing your story on Friday, because Resurrection Day is on the way!

Holy Spirit, help me to never, ever forget the words of Jesus.
