Daily Dose 2-13-11

Matthew 27:50-52 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

What if you had been one of those people raised from the dead as Jess took His last breath on the cross? What would you say to your family, friends…anyone you saw along the way? Don’t you think you would be so excited about an opportunity for new life that no one could contain your enthusiasm? Really, our new lives as Christians should be no different today than when those who had risen from the dead appeared to those whom they knew. The last breath of Jesus that raised them from their graves of dirt is the same sacrifice that raised us from our graves of sin. Remember as you go out today that you have new life. Life is a gift to be shared. This new life is one that comes with an extended warranty! Once our physical bodies are worn out, our lives can go on for eternity in the presence of God Almighty! Share that good news with those around you so they may also live in new life and have the promise of life eternal!

Father, Thank you so much for the sacrifice of Your Son. I can’t imagine in full depth what He went through for me. Keep that sacrifice always on my mind and in my heart. Give me courage to share the good news so that lost souls You love may be raised to new life. Amen
