He is risen indeed! We had a glorious worship service this morning, and three tables full of wonderful friends and family to celebrate with us afterward. Even the clean up was a whiz (though it’s still whizzing, we’re closing in on it).
And now a tidbit from the sermon: We do not need to prove the resurrection; the resurrection is the proof itself. The resurrection proves that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He will come to judge the world. Luke refers to the many infallible proofs of Christ’s resurrection in Acts 1:1-3.
The Kingdom of God refers to the realm and reign of King Jesus, and His crown rights were established by His resurrection from the dead. It is not an ethereal kingdom, but a very real and earthy one. We live like His loyal subjects by loving one another, which is proof to the world that love has been raised from the dead in us. And just like the resurrection was real and physical, our love to one another is real and physical. We touch one another, we feed one another, we give gifts to one another. That is resurrection living.
Hope you all had a blessed day!

This is so well said! Our very behavior proves the truth of God… or rather it can do so, if we are surrendered to Him. This makes me look squarely at my own behavior (ouch!) It makes me want to strive/surrender even more so that others can see me and know that He lives?
Thanks for sharing.. this was a real blessing to me today!
