“…That is the resurrection life. You have to die to get it. You have to die to enter there. We die to our sin, we die to ourselves, we die to the opinions of men, and we die to the old world… … We live in Jesus Christ. Blessed be His Name.” – John G. Lake
He died because He LOVES me! And all He asks of me is that I love Him back… that I die too. He asks that I die so that I can live. And that is what He wants me to do in the “waiting”… He wants me to LIVE!
“…If we stop to think that one-half of the great Christian world is still carrying a little crucifix representing a dead Christ, we will realize how the mind of man is yet chained to the cross of Calvary, to a dead Christ, to a tomb, not empty; but the tomb that contains the One they love. Beloved that is not Christianity. Christianity, bless God is the ringing triumph that began on the morning of the Resurrection and ends when the race of man has come to the understanding, knowledge and consciousness of God Himself. …Not a dead Jesus, but a living Christ! Not a sepulcher with a dead man in it, but the glorious, risen, present Christ in your heart and mine. The Christ lives, bless God, not only at the right hand of God, but the Christ lives in your soul and mine.” – John G. Lake
He wants me to live! He wants me to let Him live through me! He is alive… He is alive in me… in me with a purpose!
…my God’s not dead… He’s surely alive and He’s living on the inside – roaring like a lion…
