Because He Lives I Can Also Live

Hello Everyone,
BECAUSE HE LIVES WE HAVE HIS PROMISE TO SATISFY US:
John 14:19B: because I live, ye shall live also.

Jesus is pointing beyond this life to the life that never ends. When He rose from the dead to life everlasting, He went where no man had gone before.
No one had ever died and then been raised up never to die again.
But Jesus doing it was not a one-time event.

It was Jesus making a trail that we all can follow.Jesus rose from the dead to build a heaven for you - a forever home made just right for you.

Because He lives, you can live with Him forever in the place of your dreams, designed for you by the one who designed you before the world began.Through His suffering and death, Jesus paid the price for our sin.
Then, by rising from the dead, Jesus dealt a deathblow to death.

There were two great human enemies, sin and the grave.
Through the cross and resurrection, Jesus defeated them both. So, there is nothing to stop us from living forever in His heavenly mansions.

He offers forgiveness of sin as a gift we didn’t deserve or earn, and He leads the way to life beyond the grave.

Winston Churchill planned his own funeral, which took place in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He included many of the great hymns of the church. At his direction, a bugler, positioned high in the dome of St. Paul’s, after the benediction played the haunting melody of Taps. The melancholy air gave the universal signal that Churchill’s day had come to an end. But as soon as Taps had ended, Churchill had instructed another bugler, placed on the other side of the dome, to play Reveille: That was Churchill’s testimony that the last note of his time on earth was not Taps, a final end, but Reveille, a new beginning.

Taps was being played for Jesus Christ - when darkness fell, Jesus died, and Taps moaned for all humanity. That was not, the last note.

Sunday morning, the bugle rang out with Reveille.
And Jesus ROSE FROM THE DEAD!Unless Jesus returns, Taps will sound for you and me someday.

The same bugler that trumpeted Reveille for Jesus on that resurrection morning will play for you and I as well.

Death will not be the final note!
Since He lives you can live also.
