My God's Not Dead, He's Surely Alive.

So, today in our youth group we talked about the resurrection of Jesus, again. We were reading the book of Acts, so I'm going to let you read it(:

 Acts 1: 1-11

 ^1-5Dear Theophilus, in the first volume of this book I wrote on everything that Jesus began to do and teach until the day he said good-bye to the apostles, the ones he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God. As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but "must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon."
 ⁶When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?"
 ^7-8He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."
 ^9-11These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud. They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared—in white robes! They said, "You Galileans!—why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly—and mysteriously—as he left."


Now, this is talking about the last few things that Jesus did with everyone. The Bible plainly states that Jesus ate, and walked and talked just like everyone else when he was resurrected. He probably even used the restroom, just like the rest of us. That's interesting to think, right? That seriously, in all points, God himself, lived just like us.. And died just like us.
Well, actually, he probably died worse than any of us will, and for nothing. Jesus Christ NEVER sinned, not even once, yet we sin everyday, but no one hangs us on a cross, beats us, spits on us, curses us, mocks us, then leaves us for dead.. Even though we deserve it much more than Jesus did. I have the perfect song about that too. It's called "Jesus Paid It All"

You see what I mean? Jesus not only died for us though, he rose again for us! How many people can actually say that someone besides Jesus died, then rose again for them!? huh? No one. Easter is probably one of the most important religious holidays, probably even more important than Christmas, because EVERY great leader was born, but only ONE rose again(:

And of course, Michael and I spent a few minutes together, but only a few :/
Which SUCKS because Michael and I really needed some time together.. You see, we got into an argument last night, and it did not start out, or really end so well.. There was a lot of hurt feelings, and way too many tears.. )): But in the end we pretty much patched things up, but I'm afraid they might be patched with garments that already have holes in them.. I pray that Michael and I can stick it out, I really do love him.. I love him with all my heart..

Well, that's all I have to say for tonight, sorry it's kind of short. But remember, Jesus loves you! And Jesus is King(: Have a blessed night.
