This is such an awesome my message Michael Kelley from CHURCHLEADERS! Man! Does it preach? YES! It does!
If the then, now, and future life of Jesus is true, then it ought to transform everything. Everything ought to look different in light of this world-changing truth. If Jesus is alive, then everything is different. And though we will particularly celebrate that truth this Sunday, we ought to remember that Jesus is alive on every day of our own lives. When we lose that fact, when it drifts from our memory, then we might well find ourselves in the same place as these early followers, treating Jesus as if He were dead instead of being alive.
