| Where is
Jesus?
~Brian Wilson
Three days after Jesus' death on the cross,
two of his disciples were walking away from Jerusalem, defeated
and without hope. A stranger began to walk with them, challenged
their assumptions, and showed them that scripture predicted
the events they had lived through. By the time he was finished,
they had changed their point of view and were convinced Jesus
was truly the Son of God, the Messiah they had waited for.
The resurrection shows God can miraculously
take what looks to us like the worst situation and turn it
into the best, a great leson in hope. Don't give
up and walk away.
If the disciples had remembered Jesus'
teaching as they lived this weekend, they might have had
a different outlook. They were yet to see the mightiest
works of Jesus. We too are yet to see the mightiest
works of Jesus, if we will believe and wait.
What did Jesus declare in the resurrection?
- Victory over the powers of darkness
- Forgiveness or sins
- Healing of hurts
- Hope for life beyond death
It takes nothing short of a miracle. Jesus is all about
miracles. After the resurrection Jesus spoke these words: Why
are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your mines? Look
at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see;
a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have
(Luke 24:38-39).
Jesus desires an intimate relationship with you and me.
Take the opportunity to live in an active relationship with
him. Stay close. Expect another miracle. And another! |
