A teacher taught her fifth grade class that Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb. One student said that she knew why - Jesus only needed it for three days!
Christ can be your refuge. In Him we are sheltered from the coming wrath of God. “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Thessalonians 5:9; Romans 5:9). Over and over again we are reminded from the Old Testament that the wrath of God comes against sin, and those examples are recorded for us to learn the need to take heed of God’s message (I Corinthians 10:11). The New Testament reminds of this truth and calls upon our repentance before the day of judgment. “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all menby raising Him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31). Christ is the Rock that will shelter us, He is the Rock of our salvation.
