As Satan was celebrating...

Joseph said, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." Genesis 50:20

Job said, "I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from you...I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. And the Lord restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning" Job 42:2,5,10,12

(I could go on)

And as Jesus lay in the tomb, and Satan was dancing with glee, the Father said, "Arise my Love"...and the rest is HIStory!

Read the lyrics to one of my favorite songs as recorded by Newsong:

Not a word was heard at the tomb that day.
Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave.
One day, two days, three days had past.
Could it be that Jesus breathed his last?

Could it be that his Father had forsaken him?
Turned his back on his , despising our sin.
Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He's dead."
Then the Father looked down to his and he said..

Arise, My love.
Arise, My love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death sting
No more suffering
Arise...Arise...my love.

The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, and like lightening from Heaven
The stone was rolled away.
And this dead man the guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love displayed its might
And suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere
The words of creation had been longing to hear.
The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear.

Arise, my love.
Arise, my love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you.
No more death sting no more suffering
Arise...arise....

Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated. The grave will not hold, the king.

Arise, my love.
Arise, my love.
Arise....Arise....Arise

One life will soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last!
