Hello and welcome to this edition of
ACTS 29 TODAY
coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH
The 3 greatest events in the time of planet earth boil down to THE BIRTH OF JESUS, THE DEATH OF JESUS, AND THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. They are all equally important and work together for the plan of GOD for all mankind.
Paul was always on trail because of the resurrection, and the reason was, everyone knew Jesus was crucified on the cross, BUT only a few saw Him after the resurrection. So for many it would require FAITH to believe Jesus rose from the dead, and so it is today it takes faith to believe in a risen Jesus.
Of all the hundreds if not thousands of false religions and cults in the world today THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, 1 MAN SAID ” I AM THE WAY, I AM THE TRUTH, AND I AM THE LIFE, AND ….NO….ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT…THRU ME.
This 1 man only was crucified but was RAISED FROM THE DEAD BY THE POWER OF GOD AND OVERCAME DEATH AND THE GRAVE.
This 1 mans name is JESUS.
Morgan Freeman said on the TV show “finding GOD” that GOD IS THE GREAT UNKNOWN, THE UNKNOWABLE, AND YET THE ANSWER FOR THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE.
This is the worlds view of GOD and true believers of GOD are just thrown in the mix of all the religions of the world including the religion of Christianity (the false Church) HOWEVER THERE IS A TRUE CHRISTIANITY CHURCH.
But no one ever points out that no founder of any religion ever rose from the dead or said I AM…the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, they all say THIS IS THE WAY, NOT I AM THE WAY.

THE MAN MADE FALSE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD (THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THEM, TRUE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS ARE NOT PART OF A RELIGION BUT A RELATIONSHIP) WILL DECEIVE MORE PEOPLE THAN ALL OF THE OTHER STUFF COMBINE.
KNOWING THIS TRUTH AND BEING BORN AGAIN INTO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT IS PRICELESS.
1st COR 7: 14 And God has not only raised the Lord [to life], but will also raise us up by His power.
Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
We get the effects of this resurrection life power NOW IN OUR MORTAL BODIES BY THE SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN US.
PHIL 3:10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];
NOTE: this is NOT from your best life now version.
11 That if possible I may attain to the { spiritual and moral } resurrection { that lifts me } OUT FROM AMONG THE DEAD [ WHILE EVEN IN THE BODY ].
THIS WAS WHAT PAUL PRESSED ON FOR, THIS WAS THE GOAL, THE PRIZE FOR PAUL TO GAIN.
There is so much in these 2 verses WOW, and I will leave you with this. I don’t think we can imagine what it was like for the early disciplines of Jesus to see him raised from the dead.
Think about someone close to you, a family member or best friend, and they die in some accident and you go view the body and go to the funeral.
Then a few weeks after the funeral your having coffee at star bucks and that same friend or family member walks in and sits down at your table.
Alive and well….WOULD THAT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR LIFE.
THEY KNEW JESUS WAS DEAD, IT WAS OVER, AND EVERYTHING THEY HAD SPENT 3 OR 3 AND A HALF YEARS DOING WITH THIS JESUS WAS OVER, FINISHED, AND KAPUT.
IMAGINE WHAT WAS GOING THRU THEIR MINDS
THEN HE SHOWS UP….ALIVE AND PROVES TO THEM ITS HIM AND THEY SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIM BEFORE HE ASCENDS TO THE FATHER.
MAYBE THIS EXPLAINS WHY, THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES 100% FOR JESUS AND WHERE SO WILLING TO DIE FOR JESUS.
THEY SAW, TOUCHED, AND LISTENED TO…………………………………………………
RESURRECTION LIFE
NO MORE FEAR OF DEATH OR THE GRAVE
JESUS SAID YOU HAVE SEEN AND BELIEVED….. BUT BLESSED R THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET BELIEVE.
WHAT EFFECT DOES JESUS RESURRECTION HAVE ON OUR LIVES?
DO WE GO TO A SUNRISE SERVICE AND SAY TO EVERYONE AROUND US “HE IS RISEN” AND THEN GO HOME THE SAME AS WE CAME?
is it over yet
OR DOES THIS REMEMBRANCE OF JESUS RISING FROM THE DEAD EMBOLDEN OUR RESOLVE TO CONTINUE ON 100% EVEN IF IT COST US OUR PHYSICAL LIVES, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT DEATH AND THE GRAVE CANNOT HOLD US ANY LONGER.
BECAUSE JESUS OVERCAME THE LAST ENEMY OF DEATH AND THE GRAVE.
AND REMEMBER NOBODY CARES……HOW MUCH YOU KNOW
UNTIL THEY KNOW…….HOW MUCH YOU CARE.
