“We apostles are witnesses of all He did throughout Judea and Jerusalem. They put him to death on a cross, and God raised Him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear not to the general public [which is Greek for the word ‘people’], but to those whom God had chosen in advance to be His witnesses. We are those who ate and drank after He rose from the dead.”
What I just shared is from Luke, the author of Acts 10, verses 39 to 42. Then Luke says, “God ordered us to preach everywhere and testify that Jesus is the judge of all—the living and the dead.”
I think of us and communion and eating and drinking with Him after He rose from the dead. And I also think of the living and the dead world in which we have around us now. And in the “Letting Go” sermon series which continues this Sunday, let’s consider what it really means to be freed within so that freedom around surrounds not only us but the living and those who are dead in heart.
God bless you, and amen.
