Knowing the Whole Story

John 20: 1-8

 

People love knowing the inside story! The lowdown! The dirt! What is really the story behind the story?

 

Consider the scoop of all time, the story behind the story of Jesus’ missing body. We have just read the account of the Apostle John of that great day! He records that upon going inside, he saw and believed (John 20:8). That Jesus----crucified, dead, and buried, lived again! When the disciple got the inside scoop, Jesus stole his heart. He believed in the Living Savior, not one whose lifeless body had been kidnapped.

 

The inside story of the empty tomb changed everything for those disciples. Has it changed your life, too? Believing the inside story that Jesus lives brings these truths into your life:

 

  • Forgiveness for all your sins is sealed through his death and resurrection.

 

  • Your life is not empty, but instead overflows with blessings through Jesus!

 

  • Your heart is the new home of the Living Savior!

 

  • God’s gift of eternal life belongs to you right now, and that life will continue even after your life here on this earth ends.

 

Like those disciples we can run to the empty tomb and find life. Like those disciples running for their lives to Jesus’ tomb, don’t keep it to yourself! Share it! Live it! Love it! The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate inside story, one like no other!

 

Have you trusted Christ as your Savior? Have you made Him Lord of your life? Let Him live through you!
