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."

Matthew 28:5, 6
King James Version

Rev. Alfred Henry Ackley wrote one of my favorite hymns "I Serve a Risen Savior". Jesus is still alive and He still loves us even when we fail Him and hurt Him. I love the words in this hymn.

"I serve a risen Savior He’s in the world today. I know that He is living, Whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy; I hear His voice of cheer; And just the time I need Him He’s always near.

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart."

Sometimes we act like Jesus is dead but He is still alive and He still loves us even when we fail Him and hurt Him. Jesus loved us yesterday. He loves us today and He will love us forever.

What a Saviour! O how I love Jesus. He is the Joy of my heart and the reason I'm living and one happy day I will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face. If you are reading this devotion, know that Jesus loves you and will never leave you.
