He Lives

Main Scripture: He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay Matt 28: 6 (NIV)

Music to meditate on: I Serve a Risen Saviour – Alfred Ackley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeDSfTWPOYM)

I Serve a Risen Saviour

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.

As a child growing up in church I can remember singing this little hymn. Now as the Easter Season draws to a close and after watching so many different version of Christ’s Crucifixion this little hymn comes backs to me.

During Easter as well there are so many debates about whether God is alive or dead and there are many theories about whether or not God is still actively involved in what happens in the world but as Paul in 1 Corinthians says 15 : 7- 9 says “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.  If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.”

My intention this morning is not to argue these theories as I am just grateful this morning that I serve a risen savior who is truly active in my life.

Ladies the mere fact that you got up this morning means that God is still active in our lives today. Many times I get up anxious and worried about life or fearful of something and it is God whom I talk to before I leave the house, then I am at peace to go through the rest of day.

 The love that I am able to share with others is not as a result of a dead God but it as a result of having a relationship with a risen Christ whom I strive to emulate daily.

As the song writer says

In all the world around me
  I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary,
  I never will despair;
I know that He is leading,
  Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
  Will come at last.

Let’s Pray

Lord, I just want to thank you today for being an active force in my life for helping me thorough life’s troubles and for always being here for me.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Have a God Filled Day Ladies
