GOD IS CONTINUING IN US

 

GOD IS CONTINUING=IN US

 

TODAY=we read about

The disciples=

And FINDING the empty tomb

THEY WERE ASTONISHED!

Who wouldn’t be?

 

“They have=Taken the Lord

From the tomb=

And we do not know

WHERE they put him”                                                                                                         John 20:2

 

Can’t you just PICTURE

Peter=Mary Magdalene=and

The other unnamed disciple

LOOKING ASTONISHED?

 

They are THREE of Jesus’

Most faithful disciples

And Jesus’ WORK

Will continue through them

As it CONTINUES

To WORK through us

In this modern day 21st century

 

Jesus cured the lame=

Gave sight to the BLIND=

RAISED Lazarus from the dead

And I don’t doubt=

He PERFORMED even more miracles

Than we read about in the GOSPELS

 

God’s work CONTINUED

In the apostles=and it CONTINUES

In all of us today

 

“Therefore my dear friends

A you have always obeyed-------

 

Not only my presence=

But now much more

In my absence--------

 

CONTINUE to work out

Your salvation

With fear and trembling…….”                                                                                                  Philippians 2:12

 

“But as for you=CONTINUE

In what you have learned

And have

 

Become convinced of

Because you know those

From who you have learned it”                                                                                                     2 Timothy 3:14

 

Jesus continued to SURPRISE THEM

Who recognized him

As the SON of God

As he continues to surprise us

EVEN TODAY

 

GOD IS CONTINUING=TO WORK IN US!

 

“Let the one=

Who does right

CONTINUE to do right

 

And let the holy person

CONTINUE to be holy”                                                                                                                  Revelation 22:11

 

We cannot fault=the disciples

For their ASTONISHMENT

For we are all astonished too

 

Just think about how many TIMES

We have been astonished

WHEN our prayers have been ANSWERED POSITIVELY

 

Even when we have

A VIGOROUS FAITH=and strong conviction

In the truth=OF THE GOSPELS

 

We are constantly in awe

HOW GOD ONTINUES=to act

In all of our lives

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our Holy Father God

WHO ALWAYS BLESSES US=In amazing ways
