HE IS STILL ALIVE

"And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him."

Mark 16:6
King James Version

In this world that is filled with violence and heartaches, we have the assurance that Jesus is still alive and is ready to comfort and encourage us.

I have said this before and I will say it until I go to Heaven to be with Jesus. No one loves us like Jesus loves us and no one ever will. His love is unconditioinal and unending. What a privilege is to to be loved by the Saviour of the world.

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote one of the most beautiful hymns ever written "Because He Lives". Has it entered your heart what a privilege is ours to be loved by the Saviour of the world?

"God sent His son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He lived and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby, And feel the pride and joy he gives; But greater still the calm assurance: This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river, I'll fight life's final war with pain; And then, as death gives way to victory, I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!"

Yes, Jesus loves us. Do you love Him? Have you told Him today that you love Him? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart. May God have mercy on us if we are hurting His beloved Son.

Jesus, I can't put into words how much I love You but you can see into my heart and You know how much I love You. Thank You for coming to me when I couldn't go to You. I look forward to the happy joyous day when I will see You face to face.
