“And
the angel answered and said unto the woman, fear not ye: for I know that
ye seek Jesus which was crucified. He is not here: he is risen, as he
said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
Matthew 28:5-6
“If God is
Dead...”
God
created everything on earth (read Genesis 1). He is master of it all.
Throughout the years mankind has tried to duplicate, discredit, and
explain the power of God. They think their “creations” are success
stories. But nothing can compare to anything that God produces!
God still moves today. “It is of the Lord’s
mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They
are new every morning..” (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Life, death, sunrise, sunset, wind, rain, snow,
sleet, hail, sunlight, moonlight, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes,
avalanches, fires, and floods are signs that God lives. When you pray,
who answers your prayers? God does, so He must be alive! Faith and
belief that He was born, crucified, and rose again are the keys. (Mark
16:6, Luke 2:11 & 21)
The song “God is not dead says if God is
dead what makes the flowers bloom, what makes summer come in June, who
listens and answers prayer, who can tell me about life, you can feel
him in the wind and breeze, in the trees, You can feel Him in the night,
in the stars that shine so bright. If God is dead what makes life worth
living. I am glad I know He lives, He lives!”
Thank God, He lives inside of you and me everyday!
“And he saith unto them. Be not affrighted:
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen: he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him.” Mark 16:6
