Week 9, Day 1
February 28, 2022 Scripture: Acts 25 “When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.” (Acts 25:18–19) If you think about it, this is the whole debate, isn’t it? “Paul talked about a dead man named Jesus who he claimed was alive.” Is it true? If Jesus truly died, and truly came back to life, that’s it. Everything in your life gets flipped over. You have to make a decision about him. I suppose you could just go on in life, paying little attention to it. Just ignore it. But there really was a man named Jesus of Nazareth. He really did die on the cross. And he really did come back to life. But if Jesus is truly crucified, and really rose from the dead – well, you better make a decision about if he is God or not. How shall we live, knowing Christ to be both crucified and resurrected? Taking a clue from Paul and others we’ve been studying over the last several weeks – we must trust in the Lord and persevere in our faith. If he really is God, we must listen to him. Follow Him. Trust him. Give him your life. He is Lord, crucified and Risen.
