HE IS ALIVE

Jesus came and stood among
them and said,
"Peace Be With You "
John 20:19 NRSV


God raised Jesus from the grave so the spirit and strength of the risen Lord
could be with you. He is alive in your relationships need activities. He is available to you in everything you do.
For years R. W. Dale,an able scholar and a renowned preacher, was a follower of Christ. As he was preparing an Easter sermon for his congregation at Carr's Lane
Church in Birmingham.
England, the reality of the presence of Jesus swept over him so strongly that he began to pace and shout, "He is alive! He is alive! Every Sunday thereafter, an Easter hymn was sung in Dale's Church. Every Sunday became to him a resurrection day.
Everywhere you go ,God goes with you.


Suddenly, Jesus himself came
along and joined them and
began walking beside them.
Luke 24:15 NLT


You are alive , Lord Jesus,
in my heart and in my life.
I am never alone... Amen.

A RESTING FAITH

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God,
this Faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes
life worth living...Hebrews 11:1 the message.


Many years ago, a famous evangelist made a distinction between types of faith.
He said there are basically three kinds of faith. There is Struggling Faith,
which he likened to someone trashing around in deep water. There is Clinging Faith,
which he compared to a person hanging on to the side of a boat. The third kind
is Resting Faith,which find a person safe and secure inside the boat.

Resting Faith is the kind of Faith God wants you to have. He wants you to trust his presence and depend on his power. He wants you to give yourself completely over to this love and care.

Your Faith in God puts you safely into the arms of God.
There is no better place to be.

You are kind, Lord, so good
and merciful. You protect
ordinary people, and when
I was helpless, you saved me
and treated me so kindly
that I don't need to worry
anymore...Psalm 116:5-7cbv
