WE ARE DIFFERENT=BECAUSE OF THE RESURECTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WE ARE DIFFERENT=Because of

THE RESURRECTION

 

The apostles=Were DIFFERENT PEOPLE=Because of the RESURRECTION=

They went from People=Who ran away from Christ=To People who=and

Who were Physically ready=To give their LIVES=for him=We should be TOO!

“But Peter and the Apostles=Said in reply’=’We must OBEY GOD=Rather

Than men’”                                                                                                                                        Acts 5:29

 

And we should BE DIFFERENT TOO=Once we ACCEPT=Jesus as our Risen

Lord and SAVIOR=I am not saying=we should die=For Christ=UNLESS we

Have no other choice=But we should BE=READY and willing=To LIVE for

Jesus=WE ARE DIFFERENT=Because of THE Resurrection=Just like the

Apostles=or at least=WE SHOULD BE

 

THE Sanhedrin=Warned the apostles=to STOP Teaching in Jesus’ name=But

They didn’t run and hide=Like before the RESURRECTION=They didn’t deny

The Lord=They had the FAITH=to profess Jesus’ name=at any COST=How about

You and me?=Are we DIFFERENT BECAUSE of the Resurrection?=Do we

LIVE DIFFERENTLY=Because of Jesus?=We SHOULD!

 

“For there is=NO DIFFERENCE=Between Jew and Gentile=The same Lord is Lord=

Of all and richly blesses all=Who call on him=For EVERYONE who calls=On the

Name of the Lord=will be saved”                                                                                                      Romans 10:12

“There are=DIFFERENT KINDS of gifts=but the same Spirit=Distributes them=There

Are DIFFERENT kinds of service=But the same Lord=There are DIFFERENT kinds of working=

But in all of them=and in everyone=It is the SAME God at work”                            1 Corinthians 12:4-6

“For if someone comes=to you=and preaches a Jesus=Other than the Jesus=

We preached=Or if you receive a DIFFERENT SPIRIT=from the Spirit you received=

Or a DIFFERENT GOSPEL=From the one you accepted=You put up with it=

Easily enough”                                                                                                                                         2 Corinthians 11:4

 

No=that is NOT TRUE=For the ONLY Jesus=The apostles knew=And the ONLY GOSPEL=

The apostles accepted=Were that of Jesus Christ=That is=THE SAME WAY=for us=for you=

And me=For He is=The only MAN/GOD=Whoever walked the earth this way==Whoever

Talked this way=NO ONE ELSE=and we are DIFFERENT because of it=We are

DIFFERENT=Because of HIS RESURRECTION=and because of HIS VICTORY

Over death=In this world

 

The world=STILL does Not like=to HEAR about loving God=and loving others=ABOVE

All else=It is EASIER to=Just blend in=with the world=But YOU AND ME=we are DIFFERENT=

Because of THE RESURRECTION=We are living=surviving=even thriving=Because of

His VICTORY over death=Because of HIS PRESENCE WITHIN US!

 

“With God=we will GAIN THE VICTORY=and he will trample down our enemies”          Psalm 60:12

“When the perishable=has been Clothed=with the imperishable=and the mortal with

The immortality=Then the saying that is written=will come true=’Death has been

SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY’”                                                                                                      1 Corinthians 15:54

 

Dear Lord=WE PRAY=That like the apostles=WE accept your truth=and like

The apostles=We accept=YOUR life and RESURRECTION=For you are our

Teacher=and you are our=”WAY=TRUTH=AND LIFE”                                                                   John 14:6

You are the AUTHORITY=to whom we ANSWER=

 

BECAUSE WE ARE DIFFERENT=Because of THE RESURRECTION!=WE keep our

EYES on you

In Jesus’ name=and in the name =of our EVER LIVING=ever loving=ever VICTORIOUS=

Holy Father God!
