April Topic: CHRIST'S RESURRECTION |
This is what sets Christianity apart from all other religions. You cannot build up a lasting meaningful relationship with someone who is dead! That is why Christianity is NOT a religion. We have a unique relationship with God's One & Only Son who is Alive today and for evermore. That is a meaningful relationship! Come; let's remind ourselves about what happened... |
Matthew 28:13
HIS DISCIPLES CAME AND STOLE THE BODY AWAY WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP
The things we say, the lies we tell and the schemes we hatch just to avoid the truth!
It would have been so much better to have produced the body! Do you realise that if they had produced the body of Jesus, Christianity would have died immediately in its tracks? It is a known fact that the Romans and the Jews - particularly the Chief Priests and Pharisees - did everything they possibly could to find it, and they were both pretty ruthless in those days in achieving their aims. But no body has ever been found, then or over the last 20 centuries.
If the disciples had stolen the body - why were they never arrested on that charge? So far as I am aware no disciple was ever arrested for stealing the body of Jesus! Preaching and teaching about His resurrection yes - time and time again - but never for stealing the body!
Even in their scheming there is therefore an element of proof. If what they said was true, then the disciples should have been charged with sacrilege.
If what they said was false - there must have been a reason for it - namely a missing body!
If it wasn't stolen, and it wasn't in the tomb, it must have been resurrected!
Tell me, do you struggle with the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Then let me reassure you. You can accept it on the Word of God, the Evidence of the Bible, and the proof of the first hand eyewitnesses!
That means He did tell the Truth. That makes Him, God, just as He said.
He also said He is coming back. Are you ready?
He's coming like a thief in the night! Therefore keep awake!
