Why Christ


This past weekend, my husband and I visited hs his home church where the special music was a Southern Gospel song. The words basically talked about visiting the tomb of Buddha and finding him there. Move on to the tomb of Mohommed and see his body. Yet when you get the tomb of Christ, he has risen and death has died. As I was reading yesterday morning in 2 Corinthians 1:20, Paul writes "For all the promises of God find their Yes in [Christ]". Many times when we talk about Christianity, it can be easy to get caught up in discussing secondary issues concerning certain Scripture verses, moral living, worship preferences and more. Today, take time to read God's Word in search of His promises and know that because of Jesus Christ, the answer to these promises is YES! The foundation to everything we believe is knowing that the grave was defeated, the tomb is in fact empty. Because of this good news, we can claim the promises of God in Christ. Thank you Lord for Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection is what moves us from death to life.
