This comes from a caller to “Trivia Friday” on afr talk.

What did Pilate ask Joseph of Arimathea when Joseph asked for Jesus’ body, and said he was going to bury it in his own tomb?

Pilate: “Why would you, a prominent leader of the Jews, want to give up your tomb for this Jesus?”

Joseph: “No big deal; it’s just for the weekend.”

This is not actually in the Bible, but it is so good.

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” the payment for all our sins was done, finished.

When Jesus rose from death, the guarantee of our resurrection and eternal life was begun.

“Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Sometimes it causes me to tremble.

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Sometimes it causes me to tremble.

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Sometimes it causes me to tremble.

Were you there when He rose up from the grave?

SOMETIME I FEEL LIKE SHOUTIN’ GLORY.”

” . . . JUST FOR THE WEEKEND.”
