Many today believe that there is NO life after death. They do not believe in either Jesus resurrection or the resurrection of men when they die. In their mind or belief system “what you see is what you get.” Once man dies he is gone forever.
This idea is not new. Back in Jesus day there were some religious leaders who did not believe in the resurrection or life after death. To them when they died, it was all over, the lights go out, and that is the end of man. What was Jesus response to them?
Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?” Mark 12:24
As I read that, there was an immediate cry in my heart. I do not want to stand in the presence of God and have Him say to me, “Gary, I appreciate all your hard work, but you did not understand the Scriptures or My power.” My prayer at that moment was, “Lord, I ask for wisdom that I might understand both the Scriptures and the Your power.”
The Bible is a powerful tool that the Lord has given to His Church. It opens up to us the very heart and mind of God. As we read and study the Bible we will come to a deeper understanding of the principles of God’s Kingdom. I want to be a man who understands the Scriptures and the power of God. How about you?
