Change can be painful and it can be a good thing; and sometimes both. But either way we have the assurance God is in the middle of it all, seeing all, and is usually several steps ahead of us. He knows all of this before we did, it was no surprise. Trusting Him for the out come is the best solution. Only Mary understood a part of this plan of Salvation. #5 Unexpected Resurrection *What appears dead is often resurrected The Resurrection at the tomb was an unexpected blessing. Yes, he told them of His resurrection like His death. They didn’t fully understand what was being said, it wasn't that they were missing anything in their happy meal, but this was a complete new concept they were grappling with. Thankfully, we are able to look back and see Jesus’s words, His intent, and understand the Fathers Glorious Plan, If life were that easy on everything! They just lost their friend, teacher and Lord! What now? John 20:15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Mary, receiving revelation, understood that Jesus was alive, He was no longer dead… death was defeated. Mary Evangelized the Truth to the disciples “He Is Alive!” When the disciple began Reflecting on the words of Jesus, their light bulbs came on- one after another. They begin to preach the gospel as Jesus did Changing lives and Relationships for eternity. 3 things that the resurrection changed: Our past His resurrection from the grave, defeated sin and death. We are the Children of God, We are free from condemnation. We can move forward without dragging the past along. We Have Grace. Our present This new life is different from the life we used to live. We are a new creation, we live with His love and guidance. We have the hope and assurance of what is yet to come. Our future Only Jesus lived a life that was worthy of this eternal life in heaven. We, the Children of God, get to share in Jesus' victory and share in His inheritance. Perhaps a dream you had or a prayer for a loved one appears to have died. But, in reality it has been weighted down with something. Think of that weight as a stone has been wrapped around this dream. The Stone represents the doubt, fear, I’m not enough, disappointment, betrayal, grief, shame, rejection….and on. The Enemy wants to keep that stone attached. You Are Who God Says You Are, and Not what the enemy says. Don’t let that stone destroy your Hope and Future; Consider a prayer of resurrection; relinquishing that stone and accepting Your True place as a beloved Child of God. Psalms 121: says My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He is the one that takes the Impossible to the possible – For Nothing is Impossible with Him. He cares about every detail of your life. He is the one that has given us life and purpose – We must realize His Will and be obedient following Christ’s example. Galatians 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. What a Beautiful Unexpected Resurrection of Grace and Relationship from an unexpected ending for Jesus here on Earth. Thankful for GRACE VJB Information taken from Christine's Unexpected Video series and my Personal Notes. Below is her book on the topic.
