JESUS IS STILL ALIVE

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.”

Matthew 28:5-8 KJV

Jesus is still alive and He will never have to be crucified and die for our sins again.  How do we know He lives?  He lives within our heart.  Pastor Alfred Henry Ackley wrote one of my favorite hymns about Jesus “He Lives”.  Does Jesus live in your heart?  If not, give your heart to Him before it is too late.

Do people see a difference in you since you invited Jesus into your heart?  When Jesus comes into our heart, people should see a difference in the way we live and in the words that we say.  If we want our family and friends to be saved, we must let them see and hear how Jesus changed our heart.

I have had the privilege of serving Jesus full time for ten years today.  O how I love Jesus!  I long for the day when I will see Him face to face.  I am going to hug Him and never let Him go.  What a precious loving and compassionate Saviour we have the privilege of knowing and having in our heart! 

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who is not saved.  May this be the day they humble themselves, confess their sins, ask You to forgive them and invite Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour.  Thank You for loving us so much that You gave Jesus to die for our sins.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
