A Witness of the Resurrection

By | Uncategorized

“Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.” Acts 1:22

 

One of the requirements for the man picked to replace Judas was that he had to be a witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is still the same today. Though we may have not seen His physical body, we cannot be effective witnesses for the Lord unless we have seen His resurrection through our own experience with resurrection power. Without the power encounter of the new birth, there is no resurrection life. If there is no resurrection life then there is no resurrection to be seen.

The Resurrection Must Be Preached

By | Eyesalve

“Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Acts 2:24, 32

 

Twice in Peter’s less than three minute sermon, he mentioned the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a theme that has been forgotten today by some of those who share the gospel with the lost. I believe I could say, if the resurrection is not preached, then the gospel is not being preached.

It Affected Other Graves

By | Eyesalve

“And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Matthew 27:52-53

 

Jesus’ being raised from the dead had so much power that it affected other graves around the area.

Shall Their Unbelief?

By | Eyesalve

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?” Romans 3:3

 

Here is another question, Shall their unbelief make you not believe? Let it not be so. Be strong in your faith saints of God.

Have Such Faith

By | Eyesalve

When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” Luke 7:9

 

Come on saints of God, let’s rise up in this hour and have such faith in God that it would cause Jesus to marvel.

Either Side of the River

By | Eyesalve

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

 

No matter what side of the river you are on, there will be idols there to allure you. They will not leave. So you have no choice but to make up your mind who you and your house will serve. (Fill in the blank) As for me and my house we will __________________. AMEN

Wolves Reproduce

By | Eyesalve

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” Acts 20:29

 

Wolves also know how to produce offspring after them. They have since the days of the early church and still are today. One day we will never have to deal with wolves, but until then, beware they are still around.

All The Counsel

By | Eyesalve

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” Acts 20:27

This scripture is the very reason that I am careful not to be a pastor who is always over promoting a favorite doctrine or topic. If the physical body needs well balanced meals how much more does the body of Christ need a WHOLE meal of the word of God.

His Life Wasn’t Dear

By | Eyesalve

Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.” Acts 20:23

 

I wonder how many of us would decide to quit our walk with the Lord if we were told that the only thing we can be sure awaits us in the coming days is bonds and afflictions. Paul stayed faithful, even though he knew what lay in store for him. The secret to his victory is found in the next verse. He did not find his life dear to him.

Raised in You

By | Eyesalve

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9

 

There is no better way for the unsaved to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead than to see Him raised in you.
