We Are a New Creation

Really, the cross means absolutely nothing without the power of the resurrection behind it....the Truth in the words of the King of Kings.  If He was a liar, then the cross was just an ugly piece of wood that served as an instrument of death.  Nothing to celebrate!

I attended a funeral this weekend and I will be attending another next weekend because my Grandma passed away last night.  I am so thankful that Jesus's words were true....that He did conquer death and rise...that when the women went to the tomb and the disciples were out of breath to check on the situation...His body was not there....that an Angel confirmed this to be true and Christ, himself, appeared to many to show them what he had said was TRUE....that his body was not stolen... because why would body snatchers carefully fold the clothes that were dressing Christ's body and place them nicely in the tomb?...I am thankful for the POWER of the RESURRECTION and the POWER to TRANSFORM a LIFE.

The funeral I attended this weekend was for a man who had only recently come to Christ.  At one point in the service an opportunity was given for loved ones to share a memory and one of this man's brothers stood and told how He had watched his brother's life totally change because of His new belief in Christ.  It is wonderful to celebrate Easter and to think about the reason our faith is alive...the reason it breathes...but this living faith needs to fly :)  The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us today....do you realize that you are now a butterfly?
