KEY SCRIPTURE; John 19:39 KJV” And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.”

Once again, we consider events about Jesus’ death. It is very important to establish the fact that He died. According to the bible, without Jesus dying, no one would be saved.

This time, Nicodemus, a religious leader brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about a hundred pounds. This was used to embalm His body from early decay. During such an embalming the whole body is covered with the mixture Now consider a hundred-pound weight of substance used to cover the whole body. In such a case if Jesus did not die on the cross, He could never have survived a hundred-pound substance used to cover the whole body.

In Rev 1:18, our Lord Jesus said ” I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death.” He said He died, but He has been raised back to life. “Jesus Himself tells John that He died, but was raised back into life, never to die again. Some religious group teaches it was somebody else, precisely Judas who was crucified. John said He stood by the cross and saw all that went on. I am emphasising again; the fact of His death would help anyone who has been taught that Jesus did not die. Our Lord Jesus died indeed, yet He was raised back to life by the Holy Spirit of God. His death brought anyone who believes in Him, from death to life.

Now because Jesus died, your sins have been washed away. You have also passed from death to life. Dear one if you were taught Jesus did not die then today take this great opportunity and surrender your life to Him and be born again.

THOUGHT: HIS DEATH ENDED SATAN’S LEGAL RIGHT TO HOLD MEN CAPTIVE.
