Evidence Of The Resurrection
July 30, 2017
Ponder This
Jesus was not a divine man. He was not a human God. He was the God-man. Perfect humanity and perfect Deity.
How do we know Jesus was not just another wild-eyed fanatic? How do we know He was not just another religious teacher or some guru? I’ll tell you how we know—He walked out of that tomb!
You may say, How do we know he did that? That’s a good question. Not only was He seen after the Resurrection by many people—on one occasion, in a gathering of 500—but in Acts 1:3 it says, "To whom also He [Jesus] showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God."
People with good minds far better than mine have said that there is inescapable evidence that Jesus Christ came out of that grave, more evidence than that Julius Caesar ever lived. To say that Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead is to fly in the face of sheer reason, apart from revelation. He arose. He came out of that grave.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
