ACTS 29 TODAY

COMING TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

I was talking to a sister one day and at some point in the conversation she said; its all just about the cross, but its really not just all about the cross.

Now many things were accomplished on the cross, but without the resurrection THE CROSS WOULD MEAN NOTHING.

Also tho, you cannot have a Resurrection WITHOUT A DEATH. So both events are equally important in the big picture of Gods plan for mankind.

So think of this , how many crosses do you see representing Christianity? Well they are everywhere, necklaces, T shirts, rings, pictures, tombstones, and on the top of buildings where the church meets on Sundays.

How many empty tombs do you see on necklaces, or any of the a for to mentioned things? not to many, ever wonder why?

Paul was not on trail because of the cross…..HE WAS ON TRAIL BECAUSE OF THE RESURRECTION AND HIS BELIEF IN THAT RESURRECTION.

The reason it was such a controversy was because, MANY PEOPLE SAW THE CRUCIFIXION…..THE DEATH OF JESUS.

NOBODY WAS THERE TO SEE THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, JUST THE RESULT OF THE RESURRECTION, WHEN HE SHOWED HIMSELF TO SOME PEOPLE.

THE RESURRECTION WOULD FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE HAVE TO BE TAKEN BY

FAITH

THE PHARISEES BELIEVED IN THE RESURRECTION (THAT’S WHY THEIR FAIR YOU SEE)

THE SADDUCEE’S DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION (THAT’S WHY THEIR SAD YOU SEE)

WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION THE LAST ENEMY….DEATH… WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DEFEATED, AND YOU AND I WOULD NOT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, THAT’S HOW BIG THE RESURRECTION IS.

BECAUSE HE LIVES (WAS RESURRECTED) WE SHALL LIVE TO.

JESUS IS THE WAY…..THE TRUTH….AND THE LIFE.

THANK GOD FOR THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

AND EVEN THO THE WORLD HAS TURNED THE CELEBRATION OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS INTO A BUNNY RABBIT AND LOOKING FOR EGGS, AND EVEN THO SOME OF THE CHURCH ENTERS INTO THAT DECEPTION ALSO…..……………………………………..

BUT FOR US WHO HAVE COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THE RESURRECTION IS LIFE ITSELF.

AND REMEMBER ITS NOT ABOUT A BUNNY…..ITS ABOUT BELIEVING.

ITS NOT ABOUT AN EGG….ITS ABOUT EVERLASTING LIFE.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.
