Resurrection

John Chapter 11 Verses 25-26  Jesus said to her, ”I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.  Do you believe this?”   1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 Verses 16-18  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words.    (NASB)                                                                      Jesus spoke those words of comfort and hope to Martha when her brother Lazarus died and was in the grave for four days.   But notice that Jesus asked her, “Do you believe this?  Do you believe that I am the resurrection and the life?”   Jesus is the Only One who can resurrect us physically and spiritually.  He is speaking the same words to us today.   What a glorious HOPE and FUTURE we have! Let us comfort each other with these words as it tells us to do in Thessalonians.

God Pleaser

Hebrews Chapter 11 Verse 6

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

1 John Chapter 3 Verse 22b-23

And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.  This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another just as He commanded us.       (NASB)

The next two suggested resolutions for 2015 are to live a life pleasing to GOD, love God above all and your neighbor as yourself.   It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to do this.

Is your faith waning?   Ask God to help your unbelief.

Is GOD not first in your life?   Ask GOD to help you put Him first.

Do you find it difficult to love others sometimes/all the time?   Ask GOD to help you.

In Christ,

Stephen and Mary
