He rose from the dead . so what ?
After hearing something so much , it ends up losing it ’ s meaning to us . That ’ s what happens to a lot of messages and stories . If we don ’ t stop and really think about what they mean , they won ’ t have any value or benefit to us . One of which being that , Jesus rose from the dead .
When people hear this , the listener ’ s face becomes stolid , expressionless , as though saying . “ He rose from the dead . So what ? Big deal .” Wait a minute , not so fast . Think about the word “ resurrected ”— to come back from the dead ; He was dead and lived again . Do you have any friends , who are alive today , but were dead and buried for three days ? I think not . March 17 , 2012 , a football player from
England fell to the floor unconscious during a game . Fabrice Muamba , 23 , suffered a cardiac arrest ; he was immediately aided by the paramedic team of the stadium and taken to the hospital . Fabrice ’ s heart stopped beating for 78 minutes , despite the 15 attempts to resurrect him through a defibrillator . According to doctors , the player was clinically dead during that time period . But miraculously , his heart started to beat again and Fabrice came back to life . Thank God he ’ s doing well .
Fabrice has such a story that , whether he plays soccer or not , he could write books , give motivational speeches , and make others think about their own mortality . And he was simply a soccer player , an unknown one , until his heart stopped beating for an hour and 18 minutes . But it was news to the entire world . And what about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus ? Why does the world not even seem to care ?
If He was resurrected , then He really did overcome death , He ’ s alive until today , whoever believes in Him doesn ’ t need to fear death , or suffer the pain and curses that were upon Him while on the cross . It means that anyone ’ s life can rise again no matter how ‘ dead ’ it may seem today . But what are you going to remember , after reading this article — about the football player or the One who gave His life for you ?
