Luke 24:5-7
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!
Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying,
'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'
I am alive and seated at the right hand of Father making intercession for you. I took your sins upon the cross and wiped them out forever. You are forgiven and My blood continually washes over you to cleanse you from unrighteousness.
I willingly laid down My life and died that you could live and experience an abundant, fulfilled life. I chose to follow the perfect plan of My Father to insure your eternal future in heaven; a reconciled relationship with Him.
Like you, I had many choices and temptations set before Me, but I chose to follow the voice of My Father and walk out His perfect will for My life. My mission was clear, and My eye was set on the mark of My high calling ...the calling of the cross for your redemption.
Since My resurrection, many have tried to disprove the fact I am alive, but to no avail. I am the only one on earth who was buried, but no one has ever been able to find My body. I AM ALIVE seated at the right hand of My Father. Why would anyone seek the living among the dead? Search as they may, My body will never be found on earth. I am glorified in heaven waiting for My Father's release to come for My bride.
I cannot be found dead in a tomb, but I am found living in the hearts of people. My mission is simple - I came to earth because God loves you and wants to show you the way back to Him. I came straight from His heart as a gift to you. All you must do is believe I am His only Son who died for your sins, surrender your life and receive Me as your savior, as Father's precious gift. You now enter everlasting life with Me.
There are many religions and gods in this world, but I am the only one who has an empty grave!
I am very much alive
And I have the Keys to death, hell, and the grave to prove it!
Praise God! I am eternally grateful for what You have so selflessly provided for me. Thank You so much for choosing to follow the will of God for Your life. If you hadn't, I wouldn't be here! Your willingness to lay down Your life and suffer unimaginable pain and suffering bought my freedom and everlasting life. It will take eternity to express my love for You. There is an empty tomb in Israel because You are very much alive not only in this world, but you are very much alive in me! Hallelujah, Amen!
