11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

- P55

God’s people can find shelter and security in Him. Just as a person finds relief in the shade on a hot day, the people of God can rest in the shadow of the Almighty. God is a strong, trustworthy refuge. If His people are in trouble, they can be confident that He will save them. - P56

Like a bird protecting its young, God is faithful to cover and protect His people. Sickness may feel like it is stalking around in the darkness, and thousands may fall under attack nearby, but God’s faithful will remain protected, and the wicked will surely face punishment for their deeds. - P56

When we seek refuge in the Lord, He becomes our sure protection, and we have nothing to fear as we are grounded in Him. - P56

The person who declares "The LORD is my refuge" and trusts in Himwholeheartedly will not only be protected but also have victory overfierce enemies. God guarantees salvation for those who love Him andacknowledge His name.  - P56

He will answer those who call on Him, and Hepromises His presence and deliverance when His people are in trouble.
We can find great comfort and confidence in this psalm, especially whenwe feel alone and under severe attack. We are reassured that when we love,
acknowledge, and call on the Lord, we will receive His salvation, protection,
and answer.  - P56

We can find hope and strength in knowing that our faithfulGod is our Protector, and His salvation is steadfast. - P56

Heavenly Father, You are my refuge and my fortress. I put my trust in You, knowing that You continue to protect, provide, and care for me. Guide me in knowing You more and growing in my love for You each day. In Your Son’s name I pray, amen. - P57

12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

13telling them, "You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."

15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

- P46

19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

- P47

5The angel said to the women,...

5The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you."

- P43

8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

9Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.

10Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

- P43

The two women are greeted with an opened tomb. At first, we maythink that the stone was rolled away so that the resurrected Jesus could exit.
However other places in the Gospels reveal that Jesus‘ resurrected bodycan move through closed doors and walls. The angel did not roll the stoneso that Jesus could come out but so others could go in.  - P44

The empty tombreveals that Jesus is exactly who He said He was. He is not just a prophet orpopular teacher and healer. He is the Son of God who was raised from thedead and has completed what the Father sent Him to do. We rememberthat the substance of our faith is real-based on eyewitness testimony andcarefully recorded through the generations so that we might know andexperience the joy of our salvation! - P44

Dear Jesus, Your resurrection fills us with great joy. Thank You that we cancome and worship You. Help us to respond to Your grace by walking withYou every day and telling others about You. In Your name, amen. - P45

46About three in the afternoo...

46About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").

47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He’s calling Elijah."

- P32

51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split

52and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

53They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

- P33

Darkness sweeps over the land and the people realize that a supernatural event is taking place. Jesus cries out to God, and some mishear Him, thinking that He is crying out to the powerful prophet Elijah to save Him. In actuality, Jesus is praying Psalm 22, which starts with anguish but ends with God’s deliverance and dominion over the world. On this Good Friday, we remember that Jesus’ anguish on the cross was the beginning of a great victory. - P34

May we not take the suffering of Christ for granted for even a single moment. Let us remember His sacrifice and all He suffered so that His people could receive salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life through Him.k - P34

Divine Signs (27:50-56)forf-rightethecry, temple curtain tears from top toAs soon as Jesus gives His finalopen, and people whobottom. The earth shakes, rocks split, tombs breakdied are raised to life. Even the Romans who mocked and beat Jesus exclaimthat He must have truly been the Son of God. The women who traveledfrom Galilee with Jesus also see what is happening. Jews and Gentilesalike all bear witness that Jesus‘ death was no ordinary crucifixion.  - P34

Thesupernatural events at Jesus‘ death serve as signs that confirm His divinity.
barrierAnd the curtain torn in two signifies that there is no longer anybetween God and His people. The blood of Jesus is more than enough toatone for sin for all of eternity. - P34

Two thousand years later, billions of people continueto believe in Jesus as the Christ because of the evidence presented in theGospels, in archaeological findings, and in our personal lives through theHoly Spirit and the grace of God.
On this Good Friday, may we remember this powerful moment, reflectingon every detail that the Gospel of Matthew carefully records for us. Thesigns that day revealed Jesus‘ true identity to both His followers and thosehostile to Him. Let us pray that more people today would see these andother signs and recognize the truth of the gospel. - P35

Dear God, thank You for the many signs and witnesses that confirm that Jesus Christ is truly Your Son. Today, I rededicate my life to loving and serving Him and sharing His gospel at every possible opportunity. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen. - P35
