Gruesome to Glorious: The Gore and Glory of Easter - Paperback

by Richard Rupnarain (Author)

What is so good about Good Friday? How can a good man die for guilty sinners? Where did Jesus go after he closed his eyes in death upon the cross? Even more perplexing to many is the issue of the Resurrection. Paul wrote that Christ died for our sins and rose for our justification (Ro.4:25). What does it mean by him being raised for my justification? And where is Jesus right now? What is he doing? The author answers these questions with adequate biblical references in this series of messages on Easter weekend events. He also tackles the question of Jesus' whereabouts after he died on the cross and what he was up to after he ascended to heaven to be seated at the Father's right hand. Hopefully, these messages will enhance your understanding of the events of that most gruesome yet most glorious weekend the world has ever known and that you will be able to appropriate the blessing of forgiveness made available through the death of Christ; take comfort in the fact that we have a heavenly intercessor who is personally acquainted with our challenges, and realize the power made available to us through his resurrection.
