Jesus, the Christ, the King of the Jews, God who became man in the womb of the virgin Mary, died one Friday afternoon between two criminals. He had lived obediently to God the Father; worked miracles to demonstrate the power of a coming kingdom; spoke of a day when God would judge the nations; painted word pictures of blessedness and abundance; suffered under the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate; was crucified, died, and was buried. Yet, the Sunday morning following the Friday of his death, Jesus rose, passing from death to life. This was the beginning of God’s victory over rebellion. Join Gene Appel as unpacks Uphill.
