Hope After Crucifixion

The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the most significant events in human history. It is a symbol of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Jesus was crucified on a Friday, but on the third day, he rose from the dead, which is celebrated as Easter Sunday. This phrase “Crucified: But Sunday is Coming” has become a powerful reminder for Christians of the hope and joy that comes after difficult times. In this blog, we will explore this phrase and its biblical references.

The phrase “Crucified: But Sunday is Coming” was popularized by Dr. Tony Campolo, an American pastor, and social activist. He used this phrase in his sermons to remind his congregation that no matter how difficult their present circumstances may be, there is hope for a better future.

The phrase has its roots in the biblical story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. In the gospel of Matthew, Jesus predicts his death and resurrection three times. In chapter 16, verse 21, Jesus says, “From that time on, Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

The gospel of Mark also records Jesus’ prediction of his death and resurrection. In chapter 8, verse 31, Jesus says, “He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.”

In the gospel of Luke, Jesus again predicts his death and resurrection. In chapter 9, verse 22, Jesus says, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

Finally, in the gospel of John, Jesus predicts his death and resurrection in chapter 2, verse 19. He says, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

All four gospels agree that Jesus predicted his death and resurrection, and that he fulfilled this prediction. He was crucified on a Friday, and his followers mourned his death. However, on the third day, which is celebrated as Easter Sunday, he rose from the dead, fulfilling his prediction and bringing hope to his followers.

The phrase “Crucified: But Sunday is Coming” reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a better future. Just as Jesus’ followers mourned his death, we may experience difficult times in our lives. But just as Jesus rose from the dead, we too can experience a resurrection of hope and joy.

In conclusion, the phrase “Crucified: But Sunday is Coming” has become a powerful reminder for Christians of the hope and joy that comes after difficult times. Its biblical references show us that just as Jesus predicted his death and resurrection, we too can trust in God’s promises for a better future. May this phrase bring hope and encouragement to all those who hear it.
