“Even if He was alive, it wouldn’t be the same”
How true that one line is – His being alive changes everything, nothing would be the same, ever again. The expectation of an earthly kingdom that would destroy Rome was gone. The gift of eternity with God was confirmed. The soldiers would eventually come for Peter and the others, but the message would resound in the hearts of generations unimagined.
Nothing would be the same. Yet, some things remained the same.
The same as when Eve listened to the serpent, and Adam listened to Eve, ignoring God’s word.
The same as when Abel approached God with an open heart, and fatal hatred was conceived in Cain’s.
The same as when Joseph’s brothers hated him for his dreams, selling into slavery and placing him right where he needed to be to save their families later in life.
God’s word, too, remains the same. He sends it where it is needed, and it will not return to Him void. It will accomplish His purpose. Can you find the verse that confirms this?
Do you think the Bible has everything that God has done in it? I don’t. I do believe it has everything in it that God has for us to know, though. Enough for us to seek Him. Enough for Him to be found. Can you find the verse that confirms this?
So many look upon the stories of God’s work with men as myths, yet archaeological discoveries within the last two centuries have given confirmation to names thought to exist only in the Bible. Did you know that?
We have a choice. Know that He is alive and respond – or deny that news and ignore Him. Uplifting music with beautiful words sung by a powerful voice does not make it true. The validity of the song as well as the validity of God’s word needs to be studied. Deeply. Can it be said that we have …
... searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:11 KJV)
