There’s so much to say and learn and study about the gospel. You could read a certain passage in the Bible 500 times, and time 501 you would come up with an entirely new insight.

That’s the way it was for me when I read about the crucifixion of Jesus this morning. Just when you get to the point where Jesus dies, hundreds of holy men come out of their graves and go through the city.

Before my mind could go with Jesus into the grave to wonder what happened there, my eyes and feet go with these men into the city!

Their salvation was proved to them they were raised from the dead and they will never die again! They have what we pine for. No longer do they work out their salvation with fear and trembling.  They are before the Lord forever.

And because of their witness, I am set to the task again to consider, have I secured the salvation I so dearly desire?

Do you think it’s odd to hear a Christian question his salvation? If you think its odd you are not familiar with the following verse:  “Make every effort to enter for many I tell you I will try but will not be able to”.

Bottom line response from the reading this morning: I am pleased and shocked and terrified and put to sober mind to reconsider my salvation.
