I can face tomorrow ...because He lives all fear is gone ...because I know He holds the future; my life is worth the living just because He lives.
[Bill Gaither]
On Palm Sunday, at Assisted Living, pastor took advantage of the lyrics of this Hymn to drive home the undeniable fact of the resurrection; referring to the multitude of witnesses: like Mary, at the empty tomb, Cephas, then the twelve disciples; and after that of above five hundred brethren; then James, and all of the apostles, et al ...making the point that if Christ is not risen then our preaching is in vain; and your faith is in vain.
[Jn 20:11-18; 1 Cor 15:3-7, 12-14, 20]
But, the foremost, infallible/unerring, witness of the living Christ is the Holy Spirit; who certifies that Christ ever lives to make intercession for us; to save to the uttermost them that come unto God, the Father, by Him.
[Heb 7:25; Jn 15:26; 14:6]
Jesus said “Because I live, ye shall live also.”
[Jn 14:19b; cf Jn 10:17-18]
