Resurrected or Zombie?

Friends-Ah, Resurrection Sunday is this Sunday...

"Oh, God! He is going to write about Jesus. How he was supposedly resurrected from the dead. Dude, he's dead. Leave him in the ground. Get over it!"

Hey, man, not only did he rose from the dead , many of his homeys were raised out of tombs and cruised around the city.Went to the outdoor mall. Grabbed a cup of Jewish grind. Lots of people saw them. (See Mathew 28:52-53)

"Are you telling me Jesus was a zombie?"

No, dude. he rose from the dead without the gruesome Hollywood make up. Check this out!

"...The Angel answered and said to the women,"Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.He is not here, for he has risen."
...Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, " Do not be afraid, go and take my word to my brethren.."Matthew 28: 5-6,9-10

"Whoa, angels now?"

Well, they are in the book. Anyway, he didn't take a chunk out of the ladies. Not saying he wasn't hungry from being in the tomb for 3 days. But, I am sure the ladies had a granola bar or some type of lozenge in their purses to tie him over til later.

Plus, if he had that gnarly zombie look, do you think the ladies would have grabbed a hold of him?

Not only he rose from the dead, he was lifted up to heaven. (See Acts 1:9-11)

So, if I wanted to leave him in ground , I can't. He's not there. He is in heaven seated at the right hand of father God.

Jesus, the Father and the Holy spirit give each other knuckles when we do something right in their eyes. Kinda cool, huh!

So, dude,I am not over it...I'm into it! : )

Resurrection Sunday is this Sunday. He's alive. He loves you. And he won't bite you! : )

Some sat in darkness and the deepest of gloom...

Friends-


"Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom..."



Do you feel that way right now? We can get upset, depress and sick(Especially if your child hacks in your face!) with life circumstances, because we don't know exactly what the future entails.We think we do, but we not quite sure.In fact, we don't.

God knows. He is not surprised by what is happening to you. To this world,... this nation. The chains that the world and men are trying to to put on us. The funny thing is, as long as we cry out to God he will save us.Whatever our circumstances are. Check this out!

"Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains, for they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the most high. So he subjected them to bitter labor;they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
Then they cried out to the lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains. let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron." Psalm 107: 10-16


Some of us are not necessarily prisoners or have rebelled all out against his word or despised his counsel. Or have we? Maybe in a small way. Maybe in a large. Only God and you know.

But what is comforting is that he understands our failings. We just need to cry out to him.

He will break down those gates and cut through those bars of iron. "Ironman" has nothing on him.

He will save you, he will save me.

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good..."Genesis 50:20

Comforting.

God loves you and he loves this irritating friend of yours!
