Running with Jesus  

Luke 24:  24-27 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

(So some of our group went to the tomb too. It was just as the women said. They saw the tomb, but they did not see Jesus.”  Then Jesus said to the two men, “You are foolish and slow to realize what is true. You should believe everything the prophets said.  The prophets said the Messiah must suffer these things before he begins his time of glory.” Then he began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. He started with the books of Moses and then he talked about what the prophets had said about him.)

      It is no wonder Satan wants to get rid of the Bible, because it tells us the whole story from the beginning of time, also what will happen after this world and time that we operate cease to exist.

     The prophets had all told about the day when a seed of woman would be born to help man be restored to a right relationship with God. Christ death was not only recorded in the Bible but historical documents.

     When explorers find a new group of people in hidden jungles they also find worshippers of some sort of god.  Mankind was made to have relationship with God.  The nature itself teaches us there is a God.  I love how people are always looking for someone out in space.  There is someone and that is God, not aliens or “Martians”.  There is always a mystery about the unknown and many know there is a future out there somewhere.  Right, there is someone and a future out there.  That someone you are searching for is God.  The way to God is through the prophesy of old who foretold about our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ coming to die on a cross for the sin of man who would restore man’s relationship with God.

     I wish I could make the choice for everyone to find my Loving Father.  I can’t but I can only give you a witness of the joy I have found.  The stabilizer of my life,  the hope and prince of peace, the lily of the valley, the morning star, my creator and maker and giver of life.  I would trade nothing for my relationship with my God.  Knowing I am one of His beloved Children gives me all I need for living.  I want so much for you to have it too.  It takes me a lot of time sending out hope every day but it is so dear to my heart I want the world to have Jesus.  Can I have some takers today?  I promise you will never regret making Him the Lord of your life.

Father, thank You for saving our souls and making us whole. Thank You for revealing yourself that we might know we have eternal life just like the prophets said.  Everything they said would happen did happen. Thank You for the one out there today reading who needs this word of encouragement and hope we can give them. 

     Admit to God you are a sinner, believe Jesus is God’s only Son He sent to die for your sins, was buried and rose again to give eternal life. Confess Jesus as Lord of your life, and receive the Holy Spirit.  You will never be the same.  Welcome to the family of God.

Come in the morning, “Peace” is at your door.
