A Helpful Reminder
Easter was a few days ago, but I think we forget about Christ’s resurrection too quickly. I say that because, too often, we treat Jesus’ teachings as sayings and proverbs from an old, wise, sage. We treat him as a man who spent his time teaching over 2,000 years ago.
The reality is, he is more than a sage. He is more than just a man who lived and died 2,000 years ago. He is the living God. He is still living with us, even now- and He is still teaching us.
Real change in a person’s heart will occur when they quit forgetting that Christ rose from the dead and is now and forever with us. He didn’t show us how to live at one time. He is still active, and he shows us how to live. He is still showing us what it means to be in union with God and one another. He is still showing us what it means to live in obedience, thankfulness, and brotherhood- just as God intended.
If you believe it, say it out loud- Christ is not dead. He is risen!
If you want to believe it, but can’t, shout it- Christ is not dead! HE IS RISEN!
Shout it out!
Christ is not dead. HE IS RISEN!He is risen indeed.

I feel like I’m in a church tent! woo hoo!
Christ is not dead; He rose from the dead and is verry much alive.
Amen. It’s funny as a Christian we tend to condescendingly look down at those Christians or “religious” people who only go to church on Easter and Christmas, when often we have our own Easter moment each week or just an hour a day rather than living in relationship and full encompassing of Christ’s Spirit (the Holy Spirit) living and moving within us at all times. I’m speaking of me mostly. He is a alive. God with us.
@barefoot_nomad - Yeah… I think a lot of churches lack in communicating that to the average layperson.
@Diva_Jyoti_3 - I think you walked into one
@vangelicmonk - If a person isn’t living out his faith, and only going to church on Sundays instead of being a part of the church, he may as well be a C&E Christian.
