So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:19-20
The Bible records many times Jesus appeared after He rose from being in the grave to many people.
To the women at the tomb that first Sunday morning. Two men walking on the road.
The disciples as the gathered together. To Thomas at another time when the disciples were together.
On the shore of the lake where Peter and some of the fishermen had been fishing and to many others.
Jesus ascended into Heaven after 40 days, but He left them with a command, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
That is His command to us also. It is our responsibility to tell others about Jesus death, burial and resurrection. He died for the people of the world, but they must hear it and accept the message to be assured of eternal life.
This question was answered in the Bible when Sarah was told in her old age she was to have a child. Sarah laughed.
Sarah did have a child when she was 90 years old and her husband was 100. The child was named Isaac, which means laughter.
Is anything to hard for God? No. The story of Sarah should give us hope and assurance when we are going through things in our lives that seem impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.
The way to overcome sin: First you must accept Jesus as your Savior. Then read and memorize God’s Word.
This verse tells us if we hide God’s Word in our hearts we will not sin against God.
All our sins are forgotten if we have trusted in Jesus death, burial and resurrection.
It is important for us to daily read the Bible and take time to communicate with God through prayer.
If we are born again, God has also done something wonderful for us! He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and be our teacher, guide and He will lead us in the right path.
The Bible has the answer to the age old question. What happens after we die? This one verse in the book of Romans tells us.
We will all stand before God for judgement. He is just and righteous. We will get what the Bible calls wages. If our sins have not been forgiven, we will receive death in the lake of fire.
The good news is, God provided a gift for all of us, if we will accept it. Eternal Life! Through Jesus. His death, burial and resurrection.
Some people think little children are too young to be saved. Jesus said to bring the children to Him. It is our responsibility as Christians to make sure the children we are blessed to have a relationship with know about Jesus.
What a blessing to have young children come to Jesus at an early age. They have their whole lives to serve Him.
Mark 10:14 – But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
God is so good! That is a saying that we hear from many Christians today, but do they really mean it?
Do we have a truly thankful heart? God is good. Always, in every situation. God can take the worst situation and turn it around for good.
So today if you have a wonderful day of blessing, be thankful.
If your day is full of sorrow for whatever reason, be thankful because you can count on God because He is good. He is with you to comfort you and turn your sorrow into joy.
