Maybe you cannot go to church because of illness, your job or family responsibilities. God understands.
But, you may have stopped going during Covid and never went back. Disagreement with a church member or hurt feelings. Think about it. Are those really valid reasons for staying home?
We do have many ways to get church services on TV, radio or YouTube. But does that really satisfy?
We miss fellowship with other Christians. We miss the opportunity to see people baptized after they have been saved. Sometimes we may miss seeing the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of others. We also miss the opportunity to help someone else who may need us to be their friend.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9
If you were drowning and could not swim, what would you need? Someone to throw you a life preserver.
If we have not accepted Jesus as our Savior, we are drowning in our sin.
Jesus is ready and able to save you! You must believe that He died, was buried and on the third day arose from the dead.
He loves you and is patiently waiting for you. Accept Him today.
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.
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 26:1-9
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
Jesus taken down from the cross. Joseph of Arimathaea took His body and laid Him in a tomb that was carved out of a rock. A great stone was rolled over the door.
The disciples had scattered, the women wept, it seemed all was lost. The One who all thought would be King was dead.
The chief priest came to Pilate for fear Jesus body would be stolen. Pilate sent soldiers to seal the tomb and watch.
Fear, disappointment and grief. Jesus has died.
Maybe you feel no hope! There is good news. Jesus did not stay in that tomb. On the third day He rose from the dead.
Jesus did all of that for you and me. Eternal Life! That is why Jesus died and rose again.
