Today on Insight for Living from Chuck Swindall.

Do you realize you do not need someone else to represent you when you go before the Lord?

You do not need a go between other than Jesus himself.

We go to God through Christ because we now have that kind of open relationship

thanks to the veil being torn.

Thank you. being torn. With the Easter celebration coming this weekend, Chuck has set all other topics aside

in order to focus entirely on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What could be more important?

After all, these historic events represent the crux of our Christian faith.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck invites us to concentrate on the window of time that

passed between the crucifixion on Friday and the resurrection that occurred Sunday morning.

These details are found in the Gospel according to Matthew chapter 27.

Chuck titled his message with a question, and then what happened?

Having journeyed these 84 times now through the book of Matthew,

I've really come to fall in love with Jesus all over again.

I have come to appreciate new dimensions of his life. I've come to admire

his responses which were, which are always so filled with restraint for he being God could have at any moment simply wiped out

those who stood against him or spoke against him. But he didn't. Always treating them with courtesy and kindness and mercy. We learned so much from that.

But today for the first time, we read of him after he has died.

His body is limp and lifeless.

And you wonder what there could be from God's word that could instruct us around the dead remains of Jesus. Oh, he will be raised and we all want to

race to that resurrection morning, I, more than anyone, but we won't do that today. We'll linger at death's scene.
