RESURRECTION IS THE TRUTH

SERVING JESUS

Someone asked Mother Theresa, "How did God call you to serve the poor?”

She replied by saying, “I was not called to serve the poor, rather I was called to serve Jesus and he led me here.”

THE OFFENSE OF THE CROSS

The Church confronts the world with a message the world craves for but resents, because it comes through the Cross of Christ." - Oswald Chambers

FOLLOWIING JESUS

"We have a tendency to forget that a person is not only committed to Jesus Christ for salvation, but is also committed, responsible and accountable to Jesus Christ’s view of God, the world, and of sin and the devil." - Oswald Chambers

REMEMBER AND WAIT

The past and the future. Memory and expectation. Remember and hope. Remember and wait. Wait for him whose face we all of us know because somewhere in the past we have faintly seen it, whose life we all of us thirst for because somewhere in the past we have seen it lived, have maybe even had moments of living it ourselves. Remember him who himself remembers us as he promised to remember the thief who died beside him. To have faith is to remember and wait, and to wait in hope is to have what we hope for already begin to come true in us through our hoping. Praise him.

THE REALITY OF THE RESURRECTION

We are not asked to believe the doctrine of the Resurrection. We are asked to meet this person raised from the dead. – Lloyd Olgilvie
