...for had they known, they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory. - 1 Corinthians 2:8

Dear Loved One,
The Lord has an awesome habit of turning things around. What human hands could never change, He does when He is invited into the equation. And just when it seems flesh and the Devil have had their day, the Lord gives them their comeuppance.
"Comeuppance" is a great word for Easter. The consummate comeuppance is what Easter is about: Jesus rising from the dead. And while it is such a brilliant strategy on the part of God, the Scripture says that the rulers of this age didn't know what they were doing in sending Jesus to the Cross. If they had known, they wouldn't have done it. What they thought would be their moment of triumph instead set up the mammoth turnaround of the Resurrection. Jesus, of course, becomes the victor and the manifestation of justice that is restored.
Loved one, God has a second chance for every situation. He's made available the power to bring about a divine comeuppance for you. The Cross isn't an instrument of defeat but of victory. And God's Word says that as far as you and I are concerned, the Devil never has the upper hand in anything we face. Whatever may appear to be defeat is not, as long as I have Jesus in my corner. You may be down for the count but Friday's tomb isn't the end of the story. Sunday's coming. Hallelujah!
Happy Resurrection Day,
Pastor Jack Hayford
