Do you doubt that Jesus lives?

You dare not. You trust him, doubt not then that you live, for your life is as sure as his. Believe also that you shall live, for that also is as sure as the fact that he lives. God gave to Noah, a token that he would not destroy the earth-it was the rainbow: but then the rainbow is not often seen; there are peculiar circumstances before the bow is placed in the cloud. You, brother, you have a token of God's covenant given you in the text which can always be seen, neither sun nor shower are needful to its appearance. The living Christ is the token that you live too. God gave to David the token of the sun and the moon; he said if the ordinances of day and night should be changed, then would he cast off the seed of David. But there are times when neither sun nor moon appear, but your token is plain when these are hidden. Christ at all times lives. When you are lowest, when you cannot pray, when you can hardly groan, when you do not seem to have spiritual life enough even to heave a desire, still if you cling to Jesus this life is as surely in you as there is life in Christ himself at the right hand of the Father.

Which is the greatest miracle of all? Many Christians would point to the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross. The crucifixion-resurrection event is, after all, the basis for our salvation.

But why would we consider the death and resurrection of Jesus so great an event? After all, others have died and risen again. Lazarus, Jairus' daughter, Eutychus. Why is the resurrection of Jesus a greater event than the raising of Lazarus from the dead? And make no mistake, Jesus' resurrection is a greater event than the raising of Lazarus. Lazarus eventually died again, but Jesus rose to eternal life and glory.

When Lazarus rose, a great deal changed for him, but little changed for the world. But when Jesus rose, everything changed.  What was so different about Jesus' resurrection?  The key lies in who died and rose. In the case of Lazarus, a man died and rose again to continue his mortal life.

My witness is motivated by the love of God for His creation. For somewhere in the bible He has said,"He has reconciled unto himself His creation"... even if creation disowns Him. I will witness to this truth alone and nothing else. Him including ALL, so that He may be Lord of ALL!

At the heart of Christianity is the person and work of Jesus Christ. So we would expect the Christian Scriptures to include an account of Jesus' life. But why do we have four - the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Isn't this redundant? Surely one would be enough?

On the contrary, our knowledge of Jesus Christ would be incomplete if we had only one Gospel. Or even if we had three Gospels but were missing one.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each told the story from a different perspective, because each had a different audience in mind. We tend to blur these four distinctive portraits of Jesus together. But knowing how an act or saying of Jesus fits in with each author's perspective can greatly enhance our understanding of its meaning.
