OUR RESURRECTED LIVES
Jesus DID=in fact=
Resurrect from the dead
By UNITING our lives with Christ's=
WHATEVER is dead in our lives=
CAN in fact be RESURRECTED
ALL of our sins=can be OVERCOME=
Even death itself
WHEN did your life
Become RESURRETED
Through Jesus Christ?
“When they heard
That he was ALIVE
And had been seen
By HER
They did NOT BELIEVE” Mark 16:11
Mary Magdalene RUNS from
The empty tomb=
To SHARE the good news
With the COMPANIONS
Of Jesus
Even though they
Had SEEN Jesus' countless MIRACLES
They STILL=did not believe
They had LOST FAITH
Since the crucifixion
And it made it HARD
For them
To BELIEVE in the RESURRECTION
How about us?
We are OFTEN
Like Jesus' companions
OUR RESURRECTED LIVES
Our lives should
BE running resurrected
And we should be
RUNNING like Mary Magdalene
To SHARE the good news
With others
“NOW if we are CHILDREN
Then we are HEIRS=
Heirs of God
And CO-HEIRS with Christ
If indeed we SHARE in his sufferings
In order
That we may ALSO
SHARE in his GLORY” Romans8:17
“Nevertheless
The ONE who receives instruction
In the WORD
Should SHARE all good things
With their instructor” Galatians 6:6
SHARING the GOOD NEWS
Of our RESURRECTED LIFE=
With Christ=and with all
Of our FELLOW CHRISTIANS
We know HOW the story ends=
Jesus CONQUERS death
And yet we STILL struggle
To believe=
What is OUR PROBLEM?
BELIEVE in the RESURRECTION
Of your life=OF OUR LIVES
He is still PERFORMING
MIRACLES even today
He is still
RESURRECTING broken dreams
And broken relationships
He is still GRANTING US
RENEWED HOPE=and second CHANCES
With our lives
“CREATE in me=
A PURE HEART=O God
And RENEW
A steadfast spirit
WITHIN ME” Psalm 51:10
“But those
Who HOPE in the Lord
Who RENEW their strength
They will SOAR
On wings=like eagles
They will run
And NOT grow weary
They will walk
And mot be faint” Isaiah 40:31
TOMORROW is the
SECOND SUNDAY of Easter=
What will it take for you and I
To BELIEVE and RESURRECT our lives?
In the names of Jesus our LORD and HIS MOST LOVING FATHER
