Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the wiles and schemes of the enemy are no match for You. There is no squashing or hampering Your message of salvation. Look at how the gospel spread in the times of oppression and persecution. We could be witnessing the greatest rise in the enemy trying to wipe Christianity from the face of the earth, but those who perpetrate the evil will not succeed. No human can keep the gospel from bubbling up everywhere. You will set Your hand to recover and grow the remnant of Your beloved. Great is Your faithfulness. Greater still is Your power and righteousness to see to the fulfillment of Your Word. We bring our gratitude and praise in Your precious name and powerful authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, saying, ‘Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, “After three days I will rise.” Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, “He has risen from the dead.” So the last deception will be worse than the first.’” (Matthew 27: 62-64 NKJV)
