When Lazarus was resurrected, people had to roll away the stone so he could get out. Then people had to take his grave clothes off of him so he could be free and see.
When JESUS CHRIST resurrected, He didn't need any man to do anything for Him! His linen grave clothes were left on the platform and He got out of the tomb under His own power.
It's crazy to think somebody who was brutally executed could rise again three days later
That He could talk, walk through walls and perform miracles -- but that's what I believe.
I believe He ascended to heaven and is talking to God on our (believers') behalf everyday.
I believe Jesus is alive in heaven and He sends the Holy Spirit to live inside everyone who believes in Him, repents of their sins and is baptized into His Body.
I believe Jesus is coming back one day to punish all evil and make a new perfect world without sin the way God intended it.
That used to scare me as a kid because I knew I had done bad things. I worried I would get punished.
As I got older and learned more about the gospel, I realized submitting to Jesus means allowing Jesus to pay for those bad things I did through His death on the cross. Once I do that, I don't have to fear punishment.
There are a lot of bad things in this world. There's a lot of good, but oh so much evil too.
We all have to deal with pain, loss, sickness, loneliness, confusion and death. Jesus promises us we don't have to deal with it alone AND that He will make everything right in the end.
