Bible Saturday 4/11: Keep Him Dead

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?

Psalm 16:1-11. Verse 8 KJV, amid the pandemic, what does it look like for me to remain unmoved through trusting God? 

Ezekiel 1:1-28. Verses 4–6 and 24-26, If made to approach God‘s throne right now, would I feel elation or dread? Today with the world in crisis, what’s taking place at the throne? 

John 19:38-42. Important men see to Jesus‘ burial. What risk must I be ready to take in the here and now for Christ crucified? 

Matthew 27:62-66. What tactics does the worldly mind these days use in trying to “keep Jesus dead“? With God’s help how can I resist that?
