Remembering Christ's Sacrifice and Celebrating His Resurrection
Jesus shared the Passover meal with His disciples before he suffered. We will be remembering His death and burial. He also rose from the dead on the third day. Resurrection of Christ is our guarantee of being raised in that last day. "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (John 2:19 KJV) He also promised, "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:44 KJV)
Come and join us in this time of remembrance and celebration on Easter Sunday.

Have You Been With Jesus
Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
This is a surprising statement by the Jewish religious leaders. The ones who had fought so hard against Christ and had him tried and crucified now recognize something bold and courageous about these "unlearned" Galilean lower class fishermen. These Galileans who had seen many miracles and wonders performed by Jesus but could not tarry and pray with Him in the garden. Further, had denied Him at His trial and abandoned Him at the cross (John did come back). Now in spite of threats, persecution, imprisonment and pending death they courageously and boldly proclaim their Messiah, Jesus Christ. What was the difference maker?
Let me share the difference maker. Jesus had told them on several ocassions that He would be tried, crucified and would die for all people. But there was something more and these disciples did not fully grasp the thrust of it until after it happened. That's right - HE AROSE FROM THE TOMB!!! You see there is something powerful in the words of these religious leaders that are powerful today. Though these religious leaders may not have known fully what they were saying, they realized these lowly Galileans had a boldness which was from Jesus and it was not the crucified body, it was the RESURRECTED Christ in His resurrected body. Thomas had felt the scars in His hands and had put his hands in His speared side. Thomas cried, "My Lord, and my God!" YES, they had surely been with the RESURRECTED CHRIST!
Have you been with the resurrected Jesus? The resurrected authority and power of Christ is real and available to all His disciples. The courage and boldness quickens is today to be powerful witnesses in our daily lives. HE IS ALIVE! He is sitting at the right hand of His Father making intercession for His Children. He continually says, "All power is given unto me in heaven and earth, go ye, therefore into all the world and preach the gospel to all people and, lo, I am with into the ends of the earth and always." (paraphrase mine) Have you been with Jesus? Get with the resurrected Jesus Christ!! HE IS ALIVE FOREVER MORE AND HAS THE KEYS TO DEATH, HELL AND THE GRAVE!! HALLELUJAH!! HOSANNAH!! KING OF KINGS!!

The Explicit Command of Jesus Christ
In ministry circles and among church groups much is being written about missiology or being a missional church. The Garden of Eden is where the first man Adam fell into sin. The Garden of Gethsemene is where the second man, Jesus Christ, sought and surrendered completely to the will of God. The first Adam succumbed to temptation. The second man Adam resisted temptation and surrendered to His Father's will. He fulfilled ALL that the Father sent Him to do. The Father's love for people, His special creation, has been in His heart ever since the first Adam fell. His plan for saving man culminated in the brutal trial, beating, and crucifixion of His only begotten Son. Jesus cried on the cross, "It is finished." He finished his work as the Son of Man, laying His divinity aside, being tempted, suffering and finalizing His Father's plan. His tortured body lay in the tomb until the Holy Spirit came in and quickened that mortal body in the borrowed tomb. HE AROSE!! HallELUJAH!!
No wonder He declared to His disciples, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."(Matthew 28:18 KJV) "ALL POWER, He said. O the wonder and glorious mystery of our Father's plan of Salvation. Jesus has given us, His disciples, the command and commission to GO TELL. "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:19, 20 KJV) Our Captain's command and commission is buttressed with the promise, as we go He will be with us always. The Holy Spirit will anoint and empower those involved in His command and commission.

Season of Seeking Day 21
These 21 days of intensely seeking God is almost completed. This evening will be the prayer simulcast at the International Offices, Peerless Road Church auditorium. If anyone is interested in joining in the Internet streaming of this simulcast you can join here.
The fruit of this season of seeking will follow for a long time to come. Daniel prayed about Jeremiah's prophecy that there would be a return back to Jerusalem after 70 years of captivity. Daniel was a young man when he was taken captivity. He did not get bitter bot got better by seeking God and His plan. He was protected and blessed throughout the years of captivity. God used him and his three cohorts in mighty ways in a strange land.
We are strangers and pilgrims in this land. Our final home is not here. It is where Jesus has gone to prepare. Let us continue seeking Him and may we stand strong for truth and holiness in a land that is so terribly "strange" and distant from what the Creator created in the Garden of Eden. Seeking Him is a joyous, sometimes rough and rocky, journey.
PRAYER: Father in heaven, I lean hard on Your grace and ask for more to continue seeking You all the days of my life. I ask for more power for service to witness to those who need salvation. All praise and glory to the blessed Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. AMEN!!!
