“He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, SALVATION to impart! You ask me how I know he lives? He lives within my heart.”

That is the chorus of the hymn “He Lives” by Alfred H. Ackley. He lived from 1887-1960.

We must look beyond the Bunny

There are many evidences of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The testimony of millions who have proved Him  to be a living Saviour is one of the evidences.

Alfred H. Ackley has proved him to be a living Saviour. I have also proved him to to be a living Saviour. What about you?

What is the foundation doctrine of the New Testament? It is the doctrine of the resurrection and the doctrine of the resurrection is mentioned 104 times in the New Testament.

There is only one religion with a living originator and that is Christianity. And I don’t really need you to tell you that Buddha is dead, that Mohammed is dead, that Brahma is dead, and that Marx is dead.

And this is the first verse of the hymn “HE LIVES” by Alfred H. Ackley:

I serve a risen Saviour; He’s in the world today. I know that he is living, whatever men may say; I see his hand of mercy, I hear his voice of cheer, and just the time I need him He’s always near.”

I am also serving a risen Saviour. I hope you do too!

“my mother always told me …, ” it says in the magazine “that’s life!” on page 4. (Issue 35 September 3, 2012)

A reader writes that her mother always told her,

“IT’S BETTER TO CARRY A TUNE THAN TO CARRY A GRUDGE.”

WHAT DOES “THE BOOK OF BOOKS” SAY ABOUT THE TUNE CARRIERS?

Very much. This is what I found in the Psalms:

David says in Psalm 27, “I will sing and make music to the LORD.” (Psalm 27:6) David is full of music.

In Psalm 57 he says again, “I will sing and make music.” (Psalm 57:7)

In Psalm 92 at the very beginning the Psalmist says, “It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most high.” (Psalm 92:1)

And listen to David again, “My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.” (Psalm 108:1)

WHAT DOES “THE BOOK OF BOOKS” SAY ABOUT THE GRUDGE CARRIERS?

I don’t find very much. This is what the Bible says:

Leviticus 19:18 says, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, …” (NIV)

Read also Psalm 59:15; James 5:8; First Peter 4:8; Second Corinthians 9:7 in the Authorized (King James) Version.

Someone observed that

“Some people never sing; they die with all their music inside them.”

Are that the people who are carrying grudges?

“I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.” – Joshua 1:3

Footsteps

“Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the  Euphrates River to the western sea.” – Deuteronomy 11:24

There are two similar articles in the 50+ LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE, March 2014, FORWARD 50.

One is called “Age defying” and the second is called “Keep effects of ageing at bay.”

The reader is asked to check out seven ways to rewind age.

I don’t need to tell you that all of us are going to die one of these days.

It  seems that those who “keep the effects of ageing at bay” die looking younger. Maybe they also die feeling younger.

But all of us are going to die. My message today is:

“Do a death defying act, accept Jesus.”

It says in John 1:12, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – “
