Resurrection Day: "If Christ be raised..."

Happy Resurrection Day!!!


Three things to consider "if Christ be raised..."
1. Jesus ~John 20
If Christ has been raised, He is the Son of God.

2. Lazarus ~ John 11:1-44
Martha is a perfect example of statements getting ahead of our hearts.  In one breath, she is telling Jesus that her brother is sick but she believes Jesus is the Son of God...and the next breath (or some 20ish verses later) at Lazarus' tomb, she is telling Jesus that her brother has been in the tomb for 4 days and he stinks.  Martha knew Jesus had power to make her brother well...but she had never witnessed Him raise anyone from the dead.

My statements (like Martha) get ahead of my heart.

3. Thomas ~ John 20:19-29
Thomas said he would never believe unless he could put his hands in Jesus' wounds.

I want the Resurrection to change my life!
