Up From The Grave He Arose!!!
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. HE HAS RISEN! He is not here. See the place where they had laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you into Galilee, There you will see him, just as he told you." Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. Mark 16:4-8 NIV
Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: IN MY NAME THEY WILL DRIVE OUT DEMONS; THEY WILL SPEAK IN NEW TONGUES; THEY WILL PICK UP SNAKES WITH THEIR HANDS; AND WHEN THEY DRINK DEADLY POISON, IT WILL NOT HURT THEM AT ALL; THEY WILL PLACE THEIR HANDS ON SICK PEOPLE AND THEY WILL GET WELL."
Mark 16:14-18 NIV
Praise the Lord that my family and I understand that this Day is more than just about some bunnies and eggs. While I've celebrated with those 2 things as well, The more my relationship grows with the Lord, the more those things become less and less important...if only the world could see that. Have I done my part to help the world see that this is about Jesus' Ressurection? No, I haven't. But that is where I'm going to change. Jesus said in the last verses I posted up top.
Go into All the world and preach the good news to ALL creation
My challenge to you(and me) for this week and all weeks to come.....
Go into all the world and preach good news-there are so many ways to do just that. Seek the Lord and he will show you, he will place you in the right place at the right time and you will be AMAZED at what will happen....and someone will be Blessed, including YOU!!
Have a Wonderful RESSURECTION SUNDAY!!!
