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... |
Luke 24:5
WHY DO YOU LOOK FOR THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?
Yuri Gagarin has the distinction of two accolades.
The first is that he was the first man in space. The second is that having encircled the globe he came back to earth and stated categorically "there is no God!" - the point being that he had gone into space and he didn't see him there.
How many people today look for God in the wrong place! Dr Robinson, while Bishop of London, is renowned for his theological outburst which was supposed to set people free from the dogma of the Church - he said - God is dead.
I am always curious as to why it is always the so-called professors, professionals, experts and theologians who come out with all the nonsensical statements. They achieve notoriety for a fleeting moment and are gone. My God lives on - regardless!
However, the challenge is still with us. Why are you looking for the living among the dead?
If our Christian walk is "dead" or just plain boring, unsatisfying and inadequate, the problem is "we" related not "God" related.
God is not dead, and He should not be treated as if He is. You don't talk to dead people, you don't walk with dead people and you don't live with dead people.
Some of us treat God just as if He was dead. We don't talk to Him, walk with Him or live with Him.
If you are "sold out" for Jesus you will do all those things, and you will know that He is not dead - because you will have a living vibrant daily relationship with Him.
Is your home group dead? Is your Church dead?
Then restart the search for Jesus - but look in a different place, because He is alive!
Our joy on earth is to be able to tell people to stop looking among the dead for Jesus.
He is unique in religion - He is alive, and alive forevermore!
