The earth shook

At once the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, and rock split apart. Graves opened, and many of God’s people were raised to life. Then after  Jesus had risen to life, they came out of their graves and went in to the holy city, where they were seen by many people. The officer and the soldiers guarding Jesus felt the earthquake and saw everything else that happened. They were frightened and said, “ This man really was God’s Son!”.      

The King

When the Son of Man  come in His glory with all of His angels, He will sit on his royal throne. The people of all nations will be brougt before Him, and He will separate them, as shepherds separate  their sheep from their goats. He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, “My Father has blessed you! Come and receive the kingdom that was prepared for you before the world was created. When I was hungry, you gave Me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave Me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcome Me, and when I was naked,you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of Me, and when I was in jail, you visited Me”.

Then the ones who pleased the Lord will ask, “when did  we welcome you as a stranger or give you clothes to wear or visit you while you were sick or in jail?”.

The King will answer, “whenewer you did it for any of My people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for Me”.

Father

Don’t call anyone on earth your Father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honoured.      

The Burden

Christ did not sin or ever tell a lie. Although He was abused, He never try to get even. And when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He had faith in God, who judges fairly. Christ carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we would stop sinning and start living right. By His cuts and bruises you are healed. You had wandered away like sheep. Now you have returned to the one who is  your shepherd and protector.        

God Spirit

Don’t make God’s Spirit sad. The Spirit makes you sure that someday you will be free from your sins. Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don’t yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude. Instead, be kind and meciful, and forgive others, just as God forgive you because of Christ.     

The Prophet

When Jesus found out what was happening, He left there and large crowds followed Him. He healed all of their sick people, but warned them not to tell anyone about Him. So God’s promise came true, just as Isaiah the prophet had said :

“Here is my chosen servant, I love Him, and he please Me.

I will give Him my spirit, and He will bring justice to the nations.

He won’t shout or yell or call out in the streets.

He won’t break off  a bent reed or put out a dying flame, but He will make sure that justice is done. All nation will place their hope in Him
