THE STORY OF JESUS: Acts 25:13-22
“About a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.” (Acts 25:19)
Some believe that Elvis Presley is still alive (and living as Pastor Bob Joyce).
But most people know that this is not true, it is just a myth.
So how about the many people who believe that Jesus is still alive?
And living in heaven, ruling over all creation, and soon coming again.
When I say it like this, I get why many people laugh.
I am one of those who believe that Jesus is alive, not dead.
I recently reflected on WHY I believe that Jesus is alive.
I want to believe it – I long for hope beyond the grave!
I believe in God – and for God resurrection is possible
I’m convinced by the disciples’ faith – they were willing to die for it!
I’ve met Jesus – He walks with me and talks with me through my daily life.
I believe in life and goodness – and this is what Jesus represents!
You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
I hope some day you’ll join us, and the world may be as one!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, it sounds ridiculous, because death is all we know. Yet everything within me longs for the kind of life that Jesus represents, and invites us into. May it come to be!
