After Jesus was crucified, His body was placed in a tomb that was carved out of Rock. Soldiers were Positioned to ‘Guard’ the tomb so nobody could steal His body.
When the Women Disciples went to the tomb early in the morning, they found the tomb open.
The body of Jesus was Gone.
At that moment they would of had Many Questions running through their Minds:
~ Where is He ?
~ Is He Alive ?
~ Are the things He said Really True ?
~ Has He Risen ?
Then they saw a man who said to them: “You Seek Jesus” (Mark 16:6).
The Women were Scared, but they Didn’t ‘Run Away’. They knew that their Lord would ‘Never’ let them down, so they ‘Stood Firm’ in their ‘Faith’, and Overcame their ‘fear’.
Then the man gave the the ‘Glorious Good News’:
“He Is Risen”.
The ‘Joy of Jesus’ Filled their Hearts, and gave them a Surge of Energy. They Ran as Fast as they could to tell the Rest of the Disciples the ‘Glorious Good News’.
Many of them Believed and were ‘Filled’ with Excitement.
But some of them ‘Doubted’. They wanted ‘Proof & Evidence’, they wanted to ‘See’ before they would ‘Believe’.
But just because they ‘Doubted’, it Didn’t change the Truth.
The Truth is that Jesus ‘Did’ Rise from death. He Is Alive.
No matter how much ‘people’ Doubt & Question, it will Never change the Truth.
~ Truth is Truth ~
There are many people Today who Still ‘Doubt’ whether Jesus was Real. People ‘Question’ whether He was the ‘Son of God’. Many people ‘Demand’ Proof & Evidence before they will Believe in the ‘Power of Jesus’.
But just because they ‘Doubt & Question’, it will ‘NEVER’ change the Truth.
It simply means they are Not ‘Living In The Truth’. And that’s why Many people are Not Free.
Jesus said: “The Truth Will Set You Free” (John 8:32).
When the Disciples of Jesus ‘Did’ Believe, they were Filled with ‘Unlimited’ Joy, Power, Love, Courage and a Wonderful Peace.
They knew that the ‘Truth’ needed to be Revealed to the ‘world’.
So they ‘Did’ what Jesus Himself Guided them to Do.
“Go into All the world, and preach the Gospel to Every Creature” (Mark 16:15).
They knew and Believed the ‘Truth’.
No matter what Anybody else said about Jesus, they ‘Stood Firm’ in their ‘Faith in Jesus’.
Before Jesus was crucified, He had Guided His Disciples that ‘people’ Will try to ‘Deceive’ them and say ‘False’ things about Jesus, (Mark 13:21-23).
So they were ‘Prepared’ in Advance for the ‘Lies’ that people would say to try to Turn them ‘Away’ from Jesus.
~ The ‘Truth’ gave them Power.
~ Their ‘Belief’ gave them Strength.
Jesus Gives ‘You’ Power & Strength over ‘Lies & Deception’.
People Will try to Turn You ‘Away’ from Jesus, and they will use Anything and Anybody to do it.
But Jesus has ‘Prepared’ You in Advance.
~ He has Given You a ‘Shield of Faith’ to Stop the fiery darts of the devil. (Ephesians 6:16).
~ And a ‘Sword of the Spirit’, which is the ‘Word of God’, (Ephesians 6:17).
Lies & Deception have got ‘NO’ Power when You ‘Believe & Speak the Truth’.
The last Words that Jesus ‘Spoke’ to His Disciples are the Same Words that He ‘Speaks’ to You:
“I Am With You Always”. ( Matthew 28:20).
~ Truth is Truth ~
Jesus Is Alive.
And He Lives In ‘Your Heart’.
So if ‘Other People’ Doubt & Question whether ‘Jesus Is Real’ and ‘Where He Is’.
You and I can ‘Lovingly & Confidently’ say:
“He Lives In My Heart”.
And that ‘Truth’ Will ‘Set You Free’.
