And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Its human nature to want control, we want to know the beginning from the end immediately. We want to live prosperous and never suffer.

However we all know , life doesn’t work this way. There will be many things beyond our control, often we don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow, and often times we are going to struggle and sometimes suffer.

If we go into these things without the Peace of God, often we become stressed out, full of anxiety, depressed, anxious, and maybe even suicidal.

However as Children of God, when we learn to give up control to God, we release all of our problems and worries to him, the Peace of God flows over us like a river beyond all our human comprehension or understanding

Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Do you Trust in Jesus or do you lean on your own understanding or comprehension? Often we are the product of our own anxiety and worrying , because we have not given up control to the one who can calm the storm.

Now I know its human nature not to want to give up control or let things go. But when you trust in Jesus with all your Heart, you will have the Peace of God that surpasses all your comprehension and understanding

You don’t need to figure out how God is going to fix your problems, he created the Heavens and The Earth, he can save you also in Jesus Name Amen!

Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” John 20:28

Did Thomas curse? Today we look at the interaction Jesus had with his disciple Thomas. After Jesus was resurrected Thomas would not believe it was Jesus until he saw his wounds from the crucifixion. Jesus appeared face to face with Thomas and showed him the wounds in his hands and his side.

After Thomas seen this evidence with his own eyes, he declared Jesus My Lord and My God! Notice Jesus didn’t rebuke Thomas from calling him God. This is just another example of Jesus revealing his deity as he did throughout The Bible.

Anti-Trinitarians say that Thomas didn’t mean to call Jesus God, but that he actually cursed. As ridiculous as this sounds, this is the actual stance that they take.  Even though this claim is ridiculous , its also not likely for a couple of reasons.

First if we read the scripture in context, meaning read the entire chapter of John 20, after Jesus reveals himself to Thomas it makes sense that Thomas would confirm that Jesus was God. However for Thomas to curse during this story , really wouldn’t make any logical sense. There was no event that happened to cause this

Second, we need to remember Thomas was a devoted Jewish disciple. Meaning he was deep in his faith with God, everyone knows that the name of God is highly sacred and would never be spoken, especially as a curse. Do you need evidence? Look at the entire Old Testament, Jews changed the name of God (Yahweh) and replaced it with (The Lord). Jews did this so there was no chance that they would be taken Gods name in vein and breaking the commandment.

Its clear Jesus revealed himself as God and was declared God, question is , is Jesus Your Lord?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Do you believe the first sentence of The Bible? If you believe God created the Heavens and The Earth, then you should believe that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE with God!

The greatest miracle to ever happen, happened at the first scripture. God spoke planets and stars into existence. God created us from the dust and breathed his spirit into us. If you understand and believe this, then you should have no issues believing in the Trinity, the Resurrection, or the Virgin birth. All of these events can be complicated for our human minds to comprehend, but for God “Nothing Is Impossible”

Many people say they believe parts of The Bible and not other parts, you either believe God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient or you don’t. If you don’t believe the first scripture of The Bible, then how can you believe any of it?

When you come to an understanding that the Bible is God breathed, it was not written by men but revealed by The Holy Spirit to men. It is the Bread of Life and the Living Water! It’s a supernatural book that changes you, Man can’t live on bread alone!

Give Thanks to our Heavenly Father, who created the Heavens and the Earth, who gave us life and gave us a Lord and Savior in Jesus Name Amen!

Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her. John 20:18

When we examine evidence for the existence of God, we always start with the “Resurrection Story” Why? Because without the Resurrection there is no Christianity. Without the Resurrection, there is no victory over sin and death. But we know it is true because of the eye witness testimony of over 500 people, including the first eye witness Mary Magdalene.

Now if the disciples were to make up a “Resurrection Story” they probably would have made up better details. One of the reasons we know the Resurrection story is true is because of the embarrassment of the details

Mary Magdalene, who was healed of seven demons, some believe she was an ex prostitute, was the first one to discover the resurrected Jesus. Where were the mighty men? They were all in hiding from persecution of the Romans and Jews. The fact that they gave credit to Mary for discovering Jesus, shows you the story is true and not made up

Woman were not considered equals back in these times, woman were mostly considered property and not educated ect. So for the disciples to admit Mary discovered the “Resurrected Jesus” first, would be an embarrassment for them. However it was documented because it’s the truth.

The Resurrection Story shows us the power of the gospel, how Jesus can take a sinner and lowest in society, and make them a leader in Gods Kingdom! Rejoice today because He is Risen in Jesus Name Amen!
