What gives the teaching of Jesus its power? What distinguishes it from the teachings of the Koran, Buddha, New Age, or anything else?
The risen Christ does.
Believing in the risen Christ is radical.
Yep, radical.
A guy bops back to life, hangs with his buddies, broils fish on the beach for breakfast, and believes he is who he says he is: the Way, the Truth, the Life.
What guts! What glory!
What a gamble.
A gamble? To believe God is who he says he is means that you are who God says you are. . .and most of us women have trouble accepting that we are beautiful princesses now. Tough to believe, but
true
true
true.
Our Lord is the King of Kings. He has conquered death. Past tense! And yet. . .our enemy wants you to think Jesus is still in the tomb.
Not!
Our risen Christ has rescued us from the dungeons of despair and has clothed us beautifully.
Radical. Real. And risen.
Thank you, King Jesus.
