From Gloom to an Empty Tomb

Countdown To Calvary – 7 Saturday & Sunday – The Aftermath of The Cross From Gloom To An Empty Tomb Time flies when____________. Time almost stands still when_______________. 1 Corinthians 15:51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.---- 66 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” [Hosea 13:14] 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Song #1 - Donnie Sumner - The Unclouded Day [Live] As this song played I began to think about_______________________________ Luke 23:44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. 49 …all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. Song #2 – Hymns Medley: Cross Medley - Anthem Lights As this song played I began to think about_______________________________ Matthew 27:3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” 5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. Song #3 – Keith Green - My eyes are dry As this song played I began to think about_______________________________ Luke 24:13 Two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Emmaus. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast.----- 35 The two returned to Jerusalem and told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. 36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Song # 4 - Chris Rice - Big Enough As this song played I began to think about_______________________________ Romans 5: 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Song #5 – Glad - And Can it Be with lyrics As this song played I began to think about_______________________________ Luke 22: 56 A servant girl saw Peter seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” 57 But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said. 58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. 59 About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” 60 Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. 61 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. 62 And he went outside and wept bitterly. John 21:15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
