Jesus is alive and well!

15_30_47-sunrise-northumberland_webHistory points to an empty grave. The Bible declares His Resurrection from the dead!

24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
Luke 24 ESV

Let us marvel still!

Tuesdays with Thomas Manton…

LET ME NOT WANDER. Psalm 119:10 says,

10 With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!

Puritan divine Thomas Manton says, manton
“God’s children are a generation of seekers. They find hereafter, but now they seek. Their great business is to be seeking after God, more ample and full communion with Him.” He further warns us, “It is a high piece of spiritual idolatry, to lean upon our own understanding, and think to carry even the ordinary affairs of any day without asking counsel from God, and then His blessing.”

Lord, let me not wander today.
