Resurrection
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on
this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15v12 (King James
Version) says “Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say
some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” Have you ever
thought about what happens after death? Some people believe that one is
reincarnated, and would come back again to life. Some have said resurrection
has already taken place while some believe that there is no resurrection from
the dead at all. Acts 23v8 (New International Version) says “(The Sadducees say
that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor
spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)”
Even today, some fail to
acknowledge that there is a spiritual world which affects what is happening in
the physical. But the truth is that there are angels, and there are
demons, and there is the resurrection of the dead. Jesus is risen. Acts
17v30-32 (New International Version) tells us that “In the past God overlooked
such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has
set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has
appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from
the dead. When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them
sneered, but others said “We want to hear you again on this
subject.””
What is your reaction to resurrection? Do you keep in mind that the
Lord showed His love and died for us to consecrate to Himself a holy and pure
bride? What then should we do?” 2 Timothy 2v16-19 (Amplified Version)
tells us “But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead
people into more and more ungodliness. And their teaching [will devour; it]
will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus
and Philetus, Who have missed the mark and swerved from the truth by arguing
that the resurrection has already taken place. They are undermining
the faith of some. But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and
unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His,
and, Let everyone who names [himself by] the name of the Lord give up
all iniquity and stand aloof from it.”
Prayer
Father we thank You.
We thank You because we know You. We thank You because
Jesus is resurrected and one day we Your children shall be as well. Thank You Most
High God. We pray You will send labourers into Your vineyard in Jesus
name, amen.
