“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5
We sometimes get so entwined within the world that we begin to look in odd places for the power above. We begin to use worldly ways to seek out our all-empowered source of strength. Some will seek out alcohol or drugs and others will seek false gods who provide no real security or power. Others consider themselves to be the whole source of strength. They try to solve all problems and usually get themselves into more problems instead. Others use politics or the praise of others to support their thoughts and ways. Everyone, throughout history, has looked to find a god. All societies have looked hard to seek out something they believe to be the all-powerful source of life. They have all searched in the wrong places. The bible is our source of the truth, and it is the road map we are to use in our search. Just as the women who went to the tomb of Jesus with their spices, they had prepared, they were looking for something that was tangible and a body they could see and feel. They were searching for the right person but in the wrong place. Jesus was no longer there. We make the same mistakes in our daily lives. When we run into problems, we try to fix them ourselves, or allow anger to overcome us and sometimes make complete fools of ourselves. The bible is very plain when it tells us that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. (John 4:16). There is no other way to our God in heaven but through Jesus, his only son, who sacrificed his life and died on the cross so that you and I could live. Jesus is at the right hand of God and speaks to the father on our behalf. He is our advocate and without Him we are unable to come before God. (Romans 8:34). Jesus, as our advocate, pleads to God for us who accept him. He pleads for those of us who have accepted the way, the truth and the life. Have you accepted Jesus? If not, please pray these simple words and believe. “ DEAR LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS JUST FOR ME. I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME VERY MUCH. I ADMIT TO YOU THAT I AM A SINNER AND CONFESS MY SINS TO YOU. IN JESUS NAME, AMEN! If you made the commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, please let me know. I thank you for reading my blog. Remember. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
