The tomb is empty! The fear of death is gone! We serve a Living Savior!
Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Hallelujah, Amen
Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Revive us again.
God provided the final sacrifice. We no longer need to be dead in our sin. The grave is no longer our enemy. He is alive! His Father is our Father, and His God is our God. When we live our lives surrendered to Him we have peace, a peace that only HE can give, and we have the Holy Spirit that HE breathes on us.
When Jesus appeared to His followers they believed and were given peace and the Holy Spirit. Thomas wasn't with them and wouldn't believe until he saw it for himself. A week later he saw and he believed and was given the peace only God can give. But what about that week when he refused to believe? For one week he lived in misery; the teacher was dead; what was going to happen to his followers, etc. For one whole week he was on his own.
That was one week. Some people spend a whole life time trying to do it on their own and they miss out on the peace that only He can give. And more importantly, they miss out on the presence of the Holy Spirit.
If you want happiness, peace and contentment—BELIEVE!
