HE IS STILL ALIVE

“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

Matthew 28:6 KJV

Philip Paul Bliss wrote a beautiful hymn about the resurrection of Jesus “Hallelujah, He is Risen!”.  I love these words.  “Hallelujah, He is risen! Jesus is gone up on high! Burst the bars of death asunder, Angels shout and men reply: He is risen, He is risen, Living now no more to die. He is risen, He is risen, Living now no more to die.”

Jesus rose from the dead and He is still alive.  Yet, many times we act like He isn’t alive and can’t help us.  Jesus wants us to have an abundant life.  “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Heavenly Father, we praise You and thank You for giving Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.  Jesus, I love You so much.  Thank You for dying for my sins and for never leaving me.  Heavenly Father, I pray You will comfort and encourage all who are hurting.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
