I’m Alive
April 18, 2014

Read: Ephesians 2:1-10

You He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins. —Ephesians 2:1

Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 3-5; Luke 14:25-35

Laura Brooks, a 52-year-old mother of two, didn’t know it but she was one of 14,000 people in 2011 whose name was incorrectly entered into the government database as dead. She wondered what was wrong when she stopped receiving disability checks, and her loan payments and her rent checks bounced. She went to the bank to clear up the issue, but the representative told her that her accounts had been closed because she was dead! Obviously, they were mistaken.

The apostle Paul was not mistaken when he said that the Ephesian believers were at one point dead—spiritually dead. They were dead in the sense that they were separated from God, enslaved to sin (Eph. 2:5), and condemned under the wrath of God. What a state of hopelessness!

Yet God in His goodness took action to reverse this condition for them and for us. The living God “who gives life to the dead” (Rom. 4:17) poured out His rich mercy and great love by sending His Son Jesus to this earth. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, we are made alive (Eph. 2:4-5).

When we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we go from death to life. Now we live to rejoice in His goodness!

I know I’m a sinner and Christ is my need;
His death is my ransom, no merit I plead.
His work is sufficient, on Him I believe;
I have life eternal when Him I receive. —Anon.

Accepting Jesus’ death gives me life.

A Blessed Good Friday To Amy's Place

Praise God For His Great Love For Us

He is Risen Indeed!

Blessed Good Friday to You, MEG!

Here is the song I wrote for Easter. It is in a Blues Style:

The Emmeus Road
(c2014 ML/LTOS)

I was walking downcast, carrying a heavy load,
I was walking downcast, carrying a heavy load,
leaving that cruel city, on the Emmeus Road.

Then a Lonely Traveler joined us on the way.
Then a Lonely Traveler joined us on the way.
He asked me ‘bout my sadness...Why I felt that way.

Where have you been hiding? How could you not have heard?
Where have you been hiding? How could you not have heard?
It’s all over the city! Didn’t you get the word?

They crucified My Savior! They hung Him on a tree.
They crucified My Savior! They hung Him on a tree.
And now, my heart is broken. No future do I see.

“Oh Foolish heart!” He told me, “The prophets, they all knew.”
“Oh Foolish heart!” He told me, “The prophets, they all knew.”
“Messiah had to suffer, and die, to redeem YOU!”

The day was spent and fading, we stopped to break our bread.
The day was spent and fading, we stopped to break our bread.
That’s when our eyes were opened! Christ is Risen from the dead!

Death, where is your victory?
Grave, where is your sting?
Christ is Risen from the dead,
Hallelujah we sing!

Death, where is your victory?
Grave, where is your sting?
Christ is Risen from the dead,
Hallelujah we sing!

(Now I just have to teach it to the band!)

This is lovely, ML

Hallelujah we sing!

"We may say that on the first Good Friday afternoon was completed that great act by which light conquered darkness and goodness conquered sin. That is the wonder of our Savior's crucifixion."
