He Is Alive
“In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” – Luke 24:5-7
Stuart Briscoe was an evangelical Christian author, international speaker and senior pastor of Elmbrook Church, in Brookfield, Wisconsin, United States.
In his book “I Believe It, (The Live of Jesus)” he wrote: “The Greek language, in which the New Testament was written, has two words for life.
1. bios – means “mere biological existence”; and the other,
2. Zoé- means “life in all it’s fullness.”
What we are being offered is fullness of life, which not even death itself can destroy.
We are not being offered an endless extension of our biological existence but rather a transformation of that existence.”
Jesus died, was buried, and then rose from the grave. He is alive!
Give thanks to the Lord for His Resurrection and that He is alive.
Praise Him that eternal life awaits us beyond the grave!
“Angels, roll the rock away; Death, yield up thy mighty prey: See, He rises from the tomb, Glowing with immortal bloom.” – Thomas Scott
“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” – Matthew 28:5-6
