The empty tomb. The scared Roman Soldiers. The anxious Disciples.
All memories of yesterday – Easter morning!
Yesterday was an indelible stamp on history. No one has been able to erase the death and resurrection that happened. Many have tried in many ways. Attempts have been made to distort history – to declare it hallucination or "something". But, they have not been able to erase it from history.
Even attempts to destroy the manuscripts that recorded and reported what had happened – those too failed.[more]
Many would rather believe what others have to say about Jesus or how he said to live, but in the end, when anyone investigates for themself, there stands Jesus. Standing face to face in the words of his disciples and friends – even non-believing historians who recorded what happened. Peter himself said "you will be exploited with false words…"
Peter, James, John and Jesus warned us that there would be those who would try to convince us that it wasn't so. That they (the false teachers) would distort what had happened and lead us away from the truth. If we ourselves know the truth from studying it, then it is hard to be led astray. Everyday we need to seek His truth – then it won't be faint memories from our past, but actions for today.
