Today's Focus: O how dark things looked for Jesus and His followers on Good Friday, as Jesus hung on the cross and died. How dark must have been the mood of the disciples all through Saturday. But then came Sunday and everything changed. Everything! For Jesus rose! Now the darkness of gloom and despair was replaced with the "light" of victory and joy! As Easter changed everything for them, so it changes everything for us. Jesus has risen to free us from the clutches of sin, death and the devil - a freedom that will never be taken away! Christ has risen! He is risen indeed!
