"Suddenly Jesus met them. 'Greetings,' he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him." Matthew 28:9
Jesus made his appearances around many different places. This is what brings power to the resurrection. It is the appearance that brings God and power to the resurrection. We need to feel the presence of God in our hearts. He showed Himself to us everyday. We don't give Jesus the credit He deserves. Don't see with your eyes, see with your soul and your heart. Every person is a gift from God. They are considered a God appearance. Jesus didn't just raise Himself from the dead, He showed Himself. God, please forgive us when we take you, Christianity, and the church for granted. YOU MUST HAVE FAITHFULNESS!
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
