Be There For Us...

When Jesus was alive faith and courage filled the hearts of His followers. But all that faded away…
“At dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices. They found the stone rolled back from the tomb. They were puzzled wondering what to make of this. then out of nowhere two men with light cascading over them stood there. The men said, why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery? He is not here, but raised up. Remember, he told you he had to be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up? Then they remembered.” ~Luke 24:1-5 The promise of resurrection was a far-fetched thing. And yet Jesus was doing many inconceivable things before their eyes. Walking on water, opening blind eyes and unstopping deaf ears. So they believed in the inconceivable while Jesus was with them. But death, was a different matter. When they watched Jesus die, their expectation of inconceivable things washed away. They forgot that Jesus told them exactly what would happen. Death seemed so final. We too get caught up in the final messages of this life. We too forget in our Lord’s ability to show up even after it seems too late. A couple of angels appeared and reminded them of Jesus’ words, that He would resurrect in 3 days, and that they needed to go be with Him. Can you imagine their surprise to find out that even death wasn’t going to keep Jesus from them? Lets take a moment and think deeply about the One who resurrected…who stopped at nothing to BE THERE FOR US! ~Verlon
