THE CROSS OF CALVARY 🏽
FRIDAY, 28TH AUGUST, 2026
TEXT: JOHN 20:1–31
KEY VERSE:
«“He is not here, but is risen.” — Luke 24:6 (KJV)»
THE CROSS WAS NOT THE END — JESUS IS RISEN!
The Cross of Calvary looked like the end.
Jesus had been crucified.
His body had been placed in a tomb.
His disciples were afraid and confused.
But early on the first day of the week, something happened that changed history forever:
THE TOMB WAS EMPTY!
Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
The One who died for our sins conquered death and rose again in victory.
The resurrection is not merely a celebration—it is the foundation of our hope.
THREE TRUTHS FROM JOHN 20
THE TOMB IS EMPTY.
When Mary Magdalene came to the tomb, she discovered that the stone had been removed.
Jesus was no longer there.
Death could not hold Him.
The grave could not keep Him.
The stone could not stop Him.
Jesus is alive!
This means our faith is not built around a dead religious leader.
We serve a living Saviour.
«“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore.” — Revelation 1:18»
Because He lives, our hope is alive.
JESUS BRINGS PEACE TO TROUBLED HEARTS.
The disciples were gathered behind closed doors because they were afraid.
Then Jesus appeared among them and said:
«“Peace be unto you.” — John 20:19»
What a powerful message!
The disciples were afraid, but Jesus brought peace.
They were confused, but Jesus brought clarity.
They had witnessed His death, but now they were witnessing His resurrection.
Jesus still speaks peace into troubled hearts today.
When fear surrounds you, remember:
Jesus is alive.
When uncertainty overwhelms you, remember:
Jesus is with you.
When life becomes difficult, remember:
Your Saviour has already conquered death.
FAITH MUST LEAD US TO BELIEVE AND WORSHIP. 🏽
Thomas struggled to believe that Jesus had risen until he saw Him.
When Jesus appeared to him, Thomas declared:
«“My Lord and my God.” — John 20:28»
Thomas moved from doubt to declaration.
From uncertainty to worship.
From questioning to conviction.
Jesus then said:
«“Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” — John 20:29»
We may not have physically seen the risen Christ, but we can believe through the testimony of Scripture.
Faith means trusting God even when we cannot see everything.
TODAY'S REFLECTION
The resurrection changes everything.
Because Jesus rose:
Our hope is alive.
Our faith is alive.
Our salvation is secure in Him.
Our future is not controlled by death.
Therefore, do not live like someone whose Saviour is still in the grave.
Walk with confidence.
Pray with faith.
Serve with joy.
Share the Gospel boldly.
When the world says there is no hope, remember the empty tomb.
When circumstances say it is finished, remember that Jesus specializes in bringing life out of what appears to be dead.
The Cross was not the end.
The grave was not the end.
RESURRECTION WAS THE VICTORY!
Because He lives, you can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, you can overcome fear.
Because He lives, you can have hope.
Because He lives, those who believe in Him have the promise of eternal life.
🏽 PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for raising Jesus Christ from the dead.
Thank You that the grave could not hold Him and death could not defeat Him.
Because Jesus lives, my hope is alive.
Lord, strengthen my faith when I doubt.
Give me peace when I am afraid.
Give me courage when circumstances become difficult.
Help me to live every day with the confidence that Jesus Christ is alive.
Let the power of the resurrection transform my life, my character, my decisions and my witness.
Help me to proclaim the Gospel boldly and tell others that Jesus saves.
May my life continually declare:
Jesus Christ is my Lord and my God!
In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. 🏽
CALVARY BLESSING
May the joy of the risen Christ fill your heart.
May His resurrection power strengthen you.
May His peace overcome your fears.
May His presence guide you through every challenge.
May your faith become stronger even when you cannot see.
And may your life become a living testimony that Jesus Christ is alive.
The tomb is empty.
Death is defeated.
Hope is alive.
Jesus is risen!
HE IS RISEN! HE IS ALIVE!
THE CROSS STILL SPEAKS!
