His Words Are True (Easter)

Romans 15:4

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

All the Scriptures were written in the past so that they might be God's tool to teach us about Him. About His nature, His Love, the lives He wants for us, what He has His hand in, the reasons for what happens in this life, and about our relationship with Him.
The purpose of the Scriptures is for them to endure this world and be around us and in us to teach us. The Scriptures are God's Words, whether they are on the pages in the Bible or in the dreams His dreamers dream, or in His creation that people see and interpret. They are His words that are to be heard and shared. They are promised to exist until the world's end. And that until that time, they will be strong.
These words are meant to be His encouraging promise to us. The words that describe His Love push us forward towards the day we see Him. They push us through the brokenness and pain. God uses them to tell us that He has not abandoned us. God uses His words to convict us for our sins, and then to bring us to Him for forgiveness. He uses them to change us. He uses them to change the world. He uses His words to move us and others. They are meant to bring courage to do His Will and not falter.
Because of these strong words, we have Hope. This Hope is that His words are true and that we really are promised all that we have been promised. The Hope that our sin went down to the grave with Jesus Christ and they stayed there while He rose to new life and that He took us with Him. The Hope now is that we are waiting for Him to come down and take us up with Him to spend an eternity with Him. Our brokenness is not permanent.

His words are true. Remember as you read.

Matthew 27:45-54

From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, pit it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"

Surely He was, and is the Son of God! And surely He is coming back for us!
