An Easter Reflection

 

What if he has risen? What if Jesus rose from the dead all those centuries ago? What if he is seated at the right hand of God the Father? What if he is King, Lord, God, and Saviour? What if the Bible is all true, just hardly understood? Consider Genesis as a poetic rendering of God creating. Consider the Ten Commandments as tokens of Love. Consider the Jewish legal cannon as their national law. Consider Jewish History and the Prophets as educational. Consider Psalms and the book of Job, Proverbs, and the Wisdom literature as teaching tools. What of the Old Testament is so controversial now?

If Christ is King, Lord, God, and Saviour, do you respect and revere him enough? Do you love him enough? Do you want him in your life enough? Do you seek him enough if you do not yet know him? Have you established a face-to-face relationship yet with God? Do you know if there is a God Creator? If there is a living God, he can surely show you too he is!

If Jesus is God, born among his creation, died as an atoning sacrifice, and rose from the dead do you pay attention enough to his words? Do you try to understand his teachings? Do you want to know what of anything he taught is applicable today? Do you seek to understand how to follow him in our fast-paced modern world? Do you accept his gift of the Spirit to help you understand all the words he spoke?

If Christ is the Saviour from a sinful death, do you accept the gift of eternal life? Can you believe he forgives even you your sins? Can you believe as some people would not swat a mosquito feeding on their leg, he can indulge you? Can you believe there is a God? With all the suffering in the world, death, disease, crime, war, and everything else, can you believe God Creator is a theater artist that the above is only the elements of dramas, tragedies, great catharsis theater for the eternal life blessed?

If you are the least bit hesitant to believe in God Creator or find you have no faith in Divine Theater or the offered Salvation from sin and death and would like to believe and receive eternal life, just ask God to show you he is and wants you too forever in his loving embrace. Ask God to show you he is not just a three-letter word...
