And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. Mark 16:11

 After the death of Jesus, his disciples hope for the future was shattered. These men gave up their jobs to follow Jesus. Now in the grief of his passing, they felt a huge void in their life. Paralyzed by fear and grief they were helpless.

Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead (as He predicted) and had brief encounters with the various people that journeyed with Him pre-crucifixion.  As scripture accounts, the disciples did not not believe at first. Even when He appeared before them, they still struggled to believe He was alive. But He was alive and He did conquor death. 

From the cross to the grave, from the grave to new life. Do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe He died and rose again? He came back to life so we can have fellowship with God through our faith and belief in Jesus Christ. When we trust in Him, He makes His presence known to us. Our faith is like eyes....the more faith we have in Him, the better our eye sight will be to see Him working in our life. 

Jesus Christ is real. 33 years of life ended with the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Through His resurrection, we can have faith in God, hope for the future and a story to tell about Jesus to a lost and unbelieving world. Share the good news with someone today! God bless. ‎
