June 23

Running with Jesus  

Luke 20:36 "Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."

     The Sadducees came to Jesus asking Him questions about resurrection life. This is odd since they didn't believe in a resurrection. Jesus answered in a way to confirm there is a resurrection. In a few days Jesus would confirm resurrection life by His own death. I am so thankful we have that hope of resurrection life. So many of us have lost so many of our loved ones and being separated for a season in life is so hard. We long to see their faces. My nephew posted a picture of my dad who passed away in 1985 a few days ago and I longed to hear his voice. I can rejoice knowing that death is not final it is just like they are in another room and one day we will see them again! I am so thankful knowing this to be true! 

     I know many of you are broken hearted but time will pass and you will be reunited sooner than you think. So let's just look forward to the hope we have. 

 Father, thank You for Your Word that helps us understand the perils of life and we can rest in our Hope. Thank You for helping us deal with life and for the fact we can know we have eternal life by placing our faith in the sacrificial death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ! 

     If you don't have this Hope, place your trust in Christ and receive Him into your heart today. Then you too can have the joy of knowing we will be together again forever! It won’t be long. In the mean time rest in Him and serve Him that is what that love one would tell you to do.

Watch out! Having a religious appearance that lead people astray, meet you in the morning!
