About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"MY SAVIOR LIVES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
MY SAVIOR LIVES
I HAVE MADE THE STATEMENT, "MY SAVIOR LIVES", AND HAVE BEEN ASKED, HOW DO YOU KNOW? AND ALSO, "HOW CAN YOU PROVE, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND IS ALIVE TODAY?"
WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS TELL THEM WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE. YOU CAN QUOTE SCRIPTURE AFTER SCRIPTURE BUT IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT, THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO EXCEPT PRAY FOR THEM. THAT IS WHY I DON'T START OFF BY TRYING TO SHOW THEM THINGS IN THE BIBLE. WHAT I DO IS TELL THEM THAT I KNOW HE IS ALIVE BECAUSE I FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM EVERY DAY AND I CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE. I ALSO TELL THEM ABOUT HOW HE HAS HEALED ME MANY TIMES. THIS DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO THEM BUT I ALSO TELL THEM THAT I KNOW BY FAITH.
A GOOD WAY TO GET THEIR ATTENTION IS TO LET THEM READ THE EARLY WRITINGS OF THE ROMAN HISTORIAN JOSEPHUS. THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILED ACCOUNTS ON SOME OF THE THINGS JESUS DID AND IF THEY REALIZE THIS IS HISTORICAL, AND NOT BIBLICAL, THEY JUST MIGHT READ IT. IT IS LIKE READING THE ACCOUNTS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
THE BEST PROOF WAS GIVEN BY THE ROMANS THEMSELVES WHEN THEY PUT GUARDS AT THE TOMB TO MAKE SURE THE DISCIPLES DID NOT COME DURING THE NIGHT AND TAKE JESUS FROM THE TOMB. PILATE, HIMSELF, TOLD THE GUARDS TO MAKE IT SECURE. IN MATTHEW 27:64-66 SOME OF THE JEWS SAID TO PILATE, "Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. THEN PILATE SAID TO THEM "Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."
SO IF YOU ARE EVER ASKED THIS QUESTION, DO WHAT YOU CAN DO IN TELLING THEM ABOUT JESUS BEING ALIVE AND PRAY FOR THEM. JESUS SAID TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH HIS GOSPEL AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT, AT LEAST WE HAVE DONE WHAT JESUS TOLD US TO DO. BE SURE TO TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS DURING THIS EASTER SEASON.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
