BLESSED BY JESUS CRUCIFIXION

My Dear Precious Child, After Jesus Christ gave up His human spirit and His body died on the cross after suffering in His body for all of the sins, indignities, harassments, injustices, iniquities, trespasses, mistakes, abuses and misfortunes of people, while He continued to hang on the cross there were female followers of His who were looking on from a distance which included Mary from Magdala, Mary the Mother of James and Matthew and the mother of Zebedee's sons. At evening time a rich man named Joseph, also a disciple of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked to be given the body of Jesus, which was granted by Pilate. Joseph took the body of Jesus and rolled it up in burial cloth which was used for dead bodies. He laid the body of Jesus in a fresh tomb that he had carved out of a rock. Joseph then rolled a huge boulder over the entrance to the tomb and went away. (Matthew 27:55-60) The two Marys kept watching the tomb from a close distance. The next day the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Plate and reported that they had remembered how Jesus, the vagabond Imposter, had said while he was still alive that He was going to rise again after three days. (Matthew 27:61-64) The religious politicians demanded that Pilate give a command that the tomb of Jesus be made secure until after the third day because they were suspicious that the disciples of Jesus would steal away His body and then tell people that He had been raised from the dead and that they feared that the deception would be worse than at first. Pilate told the chief priests and Pharisees that they had their own soldiers so they could go and make the grave of Jesus secure themselves, which they did. They sealed with a boulder the tomb of Jesus Christ and left a guard of soldiers at the tomb to make sure that no one entered and stole the body of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 27:65-66) It was all unnecessary because no human came to steal His body. A couple of days later the two Marys went to observe the tomb. There came a great earthquake and one of My angels descended from heaven and rolled back the boulder and sat on it. The angel's appearance was like lightning and his garments were white as snow. The guards were so frightened that they began shaking and became immobile with fear like dead men. The angel told the two Marys not to be alarmed because He knew that they were looking for Jesus, who had been crucified. He informed the women that Jesus was not in the tomb, that He had risen, just like He said he would do, and the angel invited the women to come and look at the place where He was laid. He told the two Marys to go and tell the disciples that Jesus had certainly been raised from the dead, that He was going to Galilee and they would find Him there just like He had told them. (Matthew 28:1-7) The two Marys left the tomb in awe and great joy, running to tell the disciples the Good News. As they were running Jesus, Himself, appeared to them and encouraged them not to be afraid or alarmed at His appearance but they were to tell the disciples to meet him in Galilee and that they would see Him there. The two women were the first people to see Jesus Christ in His glorified state. They had waited patiently at the tomb to see Him and so they were rewarded for their faith and their devotion. (Matthew 28:8-10) Your Father of Great Rewards
