My God Didn’t Stay Dead
Saturday, April 23, 2011
I was blessed to visit this sight 15 years ago in Israel, one of a few places where it's believed that Jesus was actually buried. Today, some British men run this tourist attraction, and, as they explained the controversy and arguments over the certain place of Christ's burial, our guide simply looked at us all and said,
"It really doesn't matter, because He's not here anymore."
After we all chuckled, I thought to myself, that is certainly key to my Christian faith... that hope that my God has power over death that He freely offers to me... yes, the gracious gift of eternal life with Him. That, indeed, is the "hope of glory"!
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen."
Luke 24:5-6
