~ ~ ~ SCRIPTURE REFERENCE - LUKE 20:38; LUKE 24:5 ~ ~ ~ This past week, Christians all around the world celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sadly, the same Christians spend the rest of the year as though the Lord is dead; they spend the rest of the year thinking that His power is dead. Fortunately, those of us who take the Bible seriously have quite a promise to look forward to. Twice in the book of Luke, the writer emphasizes that Jesus is alive. He is the God of the LIVING. 1) The book of Revelation doesn't sugarcoat the fact that the Lord doesn't want a dead church. He works with those who He makes alive through His Spirit. 2) The writer of the book of Luke suggests that many people, including Christians, are searching for Jesus in dead places. He's not in the drug house. He's not in the bar. He's certainly not among unbelieving friends. Search for Him in the Bible-believing churches and Bible-believing Christians. The Resurrection wasn't meant for us to sit around and mourn the life we once knew. It was meant to stir us to a new life and a new way. Ask the Lord to revive your heart and begin a fresh life.
