Jesus is still alive. Yup, he still is very much alive! Check out John 20:19-31! He appears to his followers and proves that He is alive and sends them on a mission! What about us? Don’t we have something God wants us to do that is connected to this passage of scripture? What do you think?

One day closer to Friday – big deal!  Psalm 147 – Exodus 13:3-10 – 1 Corinthians 15:42-50 – Matthew 28:16-20!

“They will see me.”  That is what Jesus says to the people at the tomb and it is what He says to us.  Sure, it’s not exactly the same.  He was telling the people then that He was alive and they would see him at a place called Galilee.  For us, Jesus is still very much alive and we see Him by Faith as we believe in Him. We trust that at the end of time He will take us to spend eternity with Him!  The question I have for today is whether our lives reflect this truth that He is alive.  If Jesus is alive than why do we sometimes live like He has left the building?

He is Alive – just look: John 20:1-18!
What does this change about your life now that you know you will live forever because of Jesus! What will today look like because you will have an eternity of them?  We usually think that eternity is something that starts after you die.  That is true and yet the reality of that starts NOW!  Believe it – it is true!

Easter is tomorrow – yeah – Psalm 88 – lamentations 3:37-58 – Hebrews 4:1-16 – Romans 8:1-11!
I dig the suspense that surrounds the day before Easter! It should have a million times the expectancy of Christmas morning! Jesus had died – it looked dark and yet there is hope! He will rise – we will rise! Awesome! Incredible! I pray that is what tomorrow is for you and yours! Enjoy it all!

I love Saturday – kickin’ it with the family and the Word! 1 Samuel 19, 1 Corinthians 1, Lamentations 4, Luke 24.

Is the rising from the dead of Jesus just an add-on or an upgrade to the cross and it’s forgiveness.  Is the rising of Jesus just for Easter so we can take down that bunny and his basket of candy?  No Way!  It is central to what we believe! Check out all the details in Luke 24 today and just let it sink in: Jesus died AND rose to give you true and eternal life.  Pretty cool huh?  And you thought it was some religious thing.  Me too – glad I was wrong and God is right!
