The Best to Come

Verse of the Month

"From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." 

(Matthew 16:21 NKJV)

April 15^th– 21^st

Scripture Reading: Philippians 2:8

The Best to Come

The whirlwind of events that took place after Jesus and the disciples arrived in Jerusalem had come to a close.  He had been falsely accused, ridiculed, beaten, abandoned by His own disciples and now was hanging on a cross.

Those who believed in Jesus, must have felt that something had gone horribly wrong, but our Savior had been telling them for some time what must come to pass.  Today was the day.

Jesus suffered pain, agony and ultimately death on the cross.  Philippians 2:8 tells us how the Lord humbled Himself, and willingly fulfilled God's call on His earthly life. 

"...He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death,

even the death of the cross." (Philippians 2:8 KJV)

Our scripture of month has walked us through the accounts that Jesus said would take place, with the exception of one more event.   Take a look at it again … the best was yet to come! (jw/cw)

"From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." 

(Matthew 16:21 NKJV)
