Incarnation to Resurrection
He’s Alive!
Incarnation to Resurrection roughly three and one-half
years, in 12 weeks, Sunday through Friday (six days) per week
The saints, no
longer grieved, or shocked & perplexed... the demons clamouring in
veritable panic, crying:
“Oh no… He’s Alive!”
April Fool's demons...
April Fool's demons...
I guess they just... didn’t get “The
Memo”!
It's very early in
the morning,
“The gates and doors were barred and all the windows fastened
down,
I spent the night in
sleeplessness and rose at every sound,
Half in hopeless
sorrow half in fear the day,
Would find the
soldiers crashing through to drag us all away.
Then just before the
sunrise I heard something at the wall,
The gate began to
rattle and a voice began to call,
I hurried to the
window and looked down to the street,
Expecting swords and
torches and the sound of soldiers feet,
There was no one
there but Mary so I went down to let her in,
John stood there
beside me as she told us were she'd been,
She said they moved
him in the night and none of us knows where,
The stones been
rolled away and now his body isn't there.
We both ran toward
the garden then John ran on ahead,
We found the stone
and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said,
But the winding sheet
they wrapped him in was just an empty shell,
And how or where
they'd taken him was more than I could tell.
Something strange had
happened there but what I did not know,
John believed a
miracle but I just turned to go,
Circumstance and
speculation couldn't lift me very high,
Cause I'd seen them
crucify him and then I'd watched him die,
Back inside the house
again all the guilt and anguish came,
Everything I'd
promised him just added to my shame,
But at last it came
to choices I denied I knew his name,
Even If he was alive
it wouldn't be the same.
But suddenly the air
was filled with a strange and sweet perfume,
Light that came from
everywhere drove shadows from the room,
Jesus stood before me
with his arms held open wide,
And I fell down on my
knees and clung to him and cried,
He raised me to my
feet and as I looked into his eyes,
Love was shining out
from him like sunlight from the sky,
Guilt and my
confusion disappeared in sweet release,
And every fear I'd
ever had just melted into peace.
He's alive, He's
alive, He's alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens gates are
open wide.
He's alive, He's
alive, He's alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens gates are
open wide.
He's alive, He's
alive, He's alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens gates are
open wide.
He's alive!” - “He's Alive” - Don Francisco, 1977
Jesus talked with
Thomas, telling Thomas - “…‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out
your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe. Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ ” - John 20:24 -2

And that right
there ^ ^ ^ that, my friends, is… GOOD NEWS!
We’ll leave reading the rest of the text for you individually.

Week Twelve, Day six (okay, technically
speaking this is now Week Thirteen, and Day One) reading can be found here:
http://bit.ly/2IX8p2V Happy studies
Additionally, in case you’re curious, here
is a list, compiled by a good friend and associate, Mr. S. Hildebrant, his Blog
may be found here - “Hupernike - Practical
Theology for Victorious Living” - of some 37 “Miracles and Parables of Christ”.
“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”
How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV]
How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything? Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]
And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]
If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters
from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you
can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John
14!
John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am
the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.”
Well that’s it, that’s Da Bauz’s Take on, “Incarnation
to Resurrection, Day Eighty-four of Eighty-four” – this 31st day of March
