Biggest Lie Ever Told

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” 

 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” 

While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. Then the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them,  "You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep." If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

We all know people who devise plans to cover up the truth, maybe we have been guilty of doing this very thing ourselves. 
The biggest lie every told was the lie that Jesus did not rise from the dead. And sad to say there have been thousands, even millions, who have believed this lie.

If there ever was a truth that Satan wanted to distort, it is this one. For he knows that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ sets true Christianity apart from all the religions of the world. Those who have chosen to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ are the only ones on the earth who can say they serve a LIVING GOD! No other religion can make that claim. The graves of their leaders are not empty!

I have come to know the Jesus of the Bible in a personal way. I have experienced His unconditional love and forgiveness. I have experienced His peace when troubling times come; along with a joy in the midst of those times that is difficult to explain. 

Jesus has changed my life and I can't imagine what it would be like without Him....Well, actually I can! For that reason I choose every day to choose Jesus!

I pray for you today. I pray you come to know this Living God, if you don't already. He is the One and Only True God!
