I am He who lives, and was dead and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen …
- Revelations 1:18

Hello Church! Jesus is alive. It is true and very true. Even though you do not see him, he is alive. Blessed are those who have not seen him and yet have believed. Have anybody ever asked you for a proof? The world seeks for a proof before they believe. Some people may say – If Jesus is alive, let him show himself. Where is he that I may believe? I want to see him. I want to touch him. I want to hear his voice. If anybody says that in your presence, open the bible, preach the word to the person and share your testimony and salvation experience with them. The Holy Spirit will convict them and convince them as the word is being preached.


The Living Body of Christ:

The Church of Christ is a proof that Jesus Christ lives. There is no better evidence that shows that Jesus lives. We are his body. We are the evidence that the world is waiting for. We are the living epistles that declare that he lives. When people see us, they should see Jesus. Just as people that saw Christ’s disciples perceived that the early disciples had been with Jesus, so our lives should reflect the very nature, life, character and principles of Christ. We are the living body of Christ. He lives within us and is with us forevermore. People should hear our testimonies and get changed. We should be living testimonies of the glory and power of Christ. We are the voice of Jesus to the nations of the earth. We are his eyes. We are his mouth. We are his hands and legs. We are his body.


The Living Word:

Not all of us are prophets. Not everyone hears God’s audible voice but we all have the bible. The bible is a proof that GOD lives and that he speaks to those who believe in him. It is also a proof that GOD rewards those who diligently seek him. There is no better written evidence that shows that Christ lives. The Word is real and is alive. Jesus said- the words that I speak; they are spirit and they are life. The words of Christ are comforting. They carry power. They give direction. They impart wisdom and understanding. Our Lord Jesus himself is The Word of GOD. The Father speaks through him and has decided to speak to us through him in these last days.


The Living Comforter:

Our Lord Jesus Christ did not leave us without a comforter. He sent us the Holy Spirit. He is our comforter. He is the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of Christ. He makes the presence of Christ available to us. He heals, casts out demons, raises the dead and does all the signs, miracles and wonders Jesus himself did as a mortal man on planet earth. The Holy Spirit is 100% GOD and testifies about Christ and glorifies him. He is always with us. If we would walk in the Spirit all the time, he would lead us and guide us in all our ways. He has come in the name of Jesus and responds to the mention of his name. He would save people that call upon Jesus. He executes the word of God. He fulfills the scripture that says – whosoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved (Joel 2:32). All the fullness of God’s power on earth and in heaven is in the Holy Spirit. He can do all things. He gives of his fruit and gifts to believers that follow Christ.


The Great Commission:

Jesus is alive and soon he would show himself to the whole wide world. Now, he is counting on you to be his voice to your neighbors. He wants to reveal himself through you to the people around you. He wants them to know him as you have known him and so he has sent you to go forth and preach the gospel to all men. GOD is counting on you. He is waiting for you. What are you waiting for? You have the living proof. In fact, you are a living proof that Jesus lives. Don’t hesitate to reveal him TODAY. Jesus is alive! Hallelujah!! Glory to GOD!!!
