FYI on The Resurrection
The Pharisees believed in Resurrection. Abraham believed in Resurrection.
The belief in the Resurrection is not a blind leap into a dark chasm but rather a step into the light. The evidence is overwhelming. Examine it very carefully. Remember this: It has always been God’s practice to give evidence to those who are willing to respond. Once you believe, you will receive more confirmation. If you persist in your doubts with your arms crossed in defiance, you’ll have a hard time honestly examining the evidence.
As YESHUA said to Thomas in John 20:29, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The evidence is incontrovertible, and therefore, it demands a verdict! And yet, some of you will still choose to not believe because it’s really a moral issue; you don’t want to surrender your will to Him. It’s tough to let the Lord lead your life. The problem ultimately is not lack of evidence but of rebellion. It’s not that people cannot believe; it’s that many will not believe.
What about you?
The biggest crime is to not believe even though the evidence is clear.
Revelation 1:18: “I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.”
Don’t be deceived. It’s time to believe. Look at the evidence, and as Luke 1:4 says, you will “know the certainty of the things you have been taught.”
Yes! PTL! It’s in Yeshua’s Name I pray. Amen.
