April 12 : Luke 24

"The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
Awesome. For some reason Easter has meant more to me this year than any other year. I think it is because of the Bible studies my small group has been going over this semester. Topics such as legalism, honesty, purity, etc have really helped me. To me Easter is everything to me. It has allowed me to be who I am today. My identity comes from Christ who is risen. Today during Easter service my father was proving the point that the resurrection was real. A lot of arguments can be made, but eyewitnesses are a necessary part of supporting a type of historical event. There were about 500 people who have testified as having seen Jesus after his death. There are number disciples who have died for their belief in Jesus Christ after his death. Why would these people do these things if they found out it was all a hoax. These people became as fervent as ever for the Gospel of Jesus Christ AFTER the resurrection. Was it because it became a reality to them? Maybe seeing Jesus shattered all doubts and allowed them to become fighters for Jesus' name. Man, today was beautful. Today was the day our Lord rised from the dead! What an amazing thing Jesus has done. The truth of Jesus must be told to everyone and everywhere! Let us live for Him.
