Even If…

“It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. If [people] do not listen to Moses [the Law] and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” (Luke 16:16-17, 31, NIV 1984).

My Musings – The Law and the Prophets pointed to Jesus. His resurrection from the dead fulfilled and confirmed them.

Law and the Prophets“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I [Jesus] have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17, NIV 1984).

Rises From the Dead “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! Just as he told you.” (Mark 16:6, 7, NIV 1984).

My Advice“You {God]will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One [Jesus]see decay.”(Psalm 16:10, NIV 1984). He (God) didn’t, and He (Jesus) wasn’t. We must listen to all the Scriptures. They alone hold the key to eternal life. Regrettably, far too many refuse to believe “even [though] [He rose] from the dead.”

I was raised in a Christian family and my earliest childhood memories include regular Sunday school and Church attendance as a family. I was taught that our Judeo-Christian values were not just a part of our Sunday routine they should be part of our character and influence all aspects of our lives. I was also taught that as important as these values were they could not save us. We must also be “born again” by accepting Christ.
