It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming

Luke 21:1
Outline
I. The Ones Grieved By His Death!
II. The Ones Glad For His Death!

He came running up to the man, out of breath, and said, ''Mister, mister, I forgot to tell you that he didn't stay dead.''

''That's great,'' said the teacher. ''Now, can anyone tell me what next Sunday is?'' The same little girl raised her hand and said, ''Yes, next Sunday is Easter Sunday.'' ''That's great,'' said the teacher, ''Now, can anyone tell me what makes next Sunday Easter?'' The same little girl raised her hand again and said, ''Yes, next Sunday is Easter because Je ...
