9.13-Evidence of God

9.13-


Evidence of God. 

I spent the first 33 years of my life looking at the lovely rolling hills of North Texas.  I assumed for most of my years here that God had created these hills.  The next 33 years I lived in Colorado and was astounded every day at the overwhelming beauty of the rockies.  How could anyone look at these and not believe in God.  These are evidence of God.

The empty tomb is another evidence of God.  For the last 2019 years the church has been celebrating the empty tomb on Easter Sunday and every Sunday as we surround the Lord's table.

Luke 24.

24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; ⁵ and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living One among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but He has ^[a]risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” ⁸ And they remembered His words, ⁹ and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles. ¹¹ But these words appeared ^[b]to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them. ¹² But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he *saw the linen wrappings ^[c]only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
