In Luke 24, we are introduced to a pivotal moment in Christian history: the discovery of the empty tomb. At dawn, women who had followed Jesus came to the tomb with spices they had prepared, only to find the stone rolled away. Entering the tomb, they did not find the body of Jesus. As they stood there perplexed, two men in dazzling apparel appeared, announcing that Jesus had risen. The women, filled with awe, hurried to tell the disciples, but their news was met with skepticism. Peter, however, ran to the tomb and found only the linen cloths, marveling at what had occurred. Further along, two disciples on the road to Emmaus encountered a stranger who interpreted the scriptures about the Messiah. When they shared a meal, they recognized Him as Jesus. Overwhelmed with joy, they returned to Jerusalem to share the news. Jesus then appeared to His disciples, offering peace and showing His wounds as proof of His resurrection. Explaining the scriptures, He commissioned them to preach repentance and forgiveness worldwide. The chapter concludes with Jesus' ascension, leaving the disciples worshiping Him with great joy. Luke 24 invites us to embrace the hope and joy of the resurrection, inspiring us to live with faith and share the good news.
The Father and I are one.”
John 10:30 ,,, Maybe Jesus didn't use the words, "I am God", but it is very clear that is what He means. Jesus isn't just a good guy or a prophet but He is God in the flesh. If Jesus isn't God then our salvation is a lie. Our eternity in heaven hangs on this fact. Believe, praise and worship God today
I have no words to look be pretty or be bold here. No declaration of faith or proclamation of anything. Just me standing here with hands in my pockets and a heart confused & a little bit unsteady.
Somedays… somedays… My Jesus, Somedays!!!! Get so so hard to bare. The confusion in my heart over the pure joy that comes across the human face when they do all kind of things that defile the very vessel you long to call and make Holy. It quite literally leaves me astonished of the glossy Cheshire Cat smile that drips from their lips makes my stomach turn in a way I can’t explain and pure rage over the lie satan is somehow getting them to believe.
I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
I try so desperately hard to try and get it or at least get a grasp on their view point. But I cannot. I simply cannot. I said goodbye to that life of pleasing flesh. Now I strive to remain obedient to You and repenting for my shortcomings I still have while I walk the road of pleasing God over man.
I do not understand. I do not understand. I do not understand. I do not understand. I do not understand.
I’ve been told and can see (especially given my own struggles of the madness of wrestling against my own flesh) that people whom have the Cheshire Cat smile while constantly conducting against their temples defilement after defilement, they do it in search of You. You Jesus, it’s always been about You. It will always be about You. But still, I feel as if I have lost them. Your Sheep, the Ones I am supposed to be a light to, I feel like I’ve lost them.
With every deep dive into the dumpster to find the next thing to cause that smile to cross their lips again — to give them the glorious high of something new that hopefully won’t fade away again. I feel like I have lost them. And yet You look at me and say “Oh Daughter, I have not.” Well of course You haven’t but where do I fit in this? Bringing them back to You? You know the moment of them finally finding themselves on their knees letting it all go and giving all of themselves to You? Where do I play a role in that? I thought you said I serve and become a broken vessel for that cause? WHERE DO I FIT IN THAT NARRATIVE?!?! You never lost them sure, but did I lose me in trying to make sure I was the one pulling them back to You kicking and screaming?
Oh Jesus, it hurts so darn bad. Can I say that to You? Can I say it hurts when You hurt so much more than I can comprehend to save me … me who was once like them. Oh God help me. What are You doing up there? Man is so fallen and awful, I can’t even stomach it. I need Your Heaven sized tums for all of this. Jesus makes this stop. I can’t bear it. Can’t move on. It all is just too much for me to bear.
I have my cross and I’ll carry it so I can see You face to face one day. Deny everything and everyone for the sake of holding Your Hand, still always will Be Your Girl. But this, is too painful. They don’t listen. Don’t want to hear my points. What I have to say. I can’t even introduce You and they think this moment with You and all the other everyday greetings from You will fade away. Where is My Help? Aren’t I first in the line and entitled to be the One You come and even send Angels to attend to me and my hurts? I’m Your Child fix this hurt, jealously and filthy judgy coat of judge I wear when I know I never ever qualified to be on the jury.
I have no idea what You are up to or doing here. But I stand with declaration and faith statements ready to say to You in front of the whole worlds eyes on me. That whatever You want to do I have faith for it and I command it to come to fruition. That it will come to pass — Your Word never comes back void. Everything shall be fulfilled. I will rest in knowing that You’ll use me how You want to use me. I’ll be the broken vessel to reach out to the least of these no matter how painful it gets. You see my need and hurt and You’ll never let me go.
