Forsaken - a Christian perspective
From the cross, Jesus cried out to God to ask why God had forsaken him on the cross. It's one of the few recorded sayings of Jesus during his final hours on the cross.

Stone rolled away - a Christian perspective
When Jesus' followers went to his tomb to mourn his death, they were shocked to find the tomb empty, its stone doorway rolled away! They were the first to learn the good news that we celebrate still today: Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Two Words That Decide Everything - #8246 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
It’s amazing how two words can change everything. I said, “I do”…my life was never the same. How about the two words, “You’re fired.” Or those nice words, “You’re hired.” There’s so much power in two little words; especially when it comes to our eternal future.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Why Death Is Not Scary Anymore - #8245 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Well, as sad as that parting was, we all could be encouraged by one fact, and it made all the difference. This wasn’t the end of our being together, it was just an interruption. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and did you know that’s how Easter changed death forever.

Palm Sunday in the Bible: Mark 11:1-11
Days before his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus rode into Jerusalem to a jubilant reception. It was an important fulfillment of prophecy, and it would later reveal the fickle nature of humanity, as those who had celebrated Christ's arrival called for his death less than a week later.

Gardener in the Bible - a Christian perspective
When Jesus' followers went to his tomb on Easter morning, they were startled to find it empty. Jesus himself appeared to Mary outside the tomb, but she initially didn't recognize him, thinking he was the gardener.

Barabbas in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Barabbas was a criminal who was in prison when Jesus was brought to trial. Pilate offered the people a chance to free one prisoner of their choice, thinking they'd choose Jesus--but they asked for Barabbas' release instead.

The Sweet Celebration of the Loyal Fans - #5805
God seems silent and things seem to being getting worse instead of better. Your hopes were just sealed in a tomb. Now is the moment of truth in your relationship with the man who gave His life for you. He did not abandon you when it meant the cross. Are you going to abandon Him? It's Mary Magdalene time: time to stand by Jesus, to stand firm in your commitment to Him, even when it feels like there's no reason to.

The Bumpy Road to a Beautiful Place - #5804
The bumps can make you wonder if you're even on the right road. Which you are, if God led you on it. The long, hard ride can leave you confused and hurting from all the bumps, all focused on yourself. If you're not careful, you'll turn around and leave the road God put you on; the road that ultimately leads to the Promised Land that He wants to give you.

Nailing Your Colors to the Mast - #5803
Too many times, you've lowered your colors, but not anymore. Not after what Jesus has done for you. Not when somebody's eternity may depend on you telling what you know. For once, for all, you are nailing your Jesus-colors to the mast so they'll never come down again.
