The Empty Charge And The Empty Tomb

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

The first charge made against the resurrection by the enemies of the faith was that the disciples stole the body. That would mean that the disciples hid the body and lied about it. But to go from such a criminal thing to the Book of Acts just doesn't add up. Only a miracle could produce such confidence and fearlessness. The disciples lost all their fear of the Sanhedrin. That would only happen through something as major as the resurrection. The Book of Acts is, itself, the testimony of the resurrection. And it's not just for the apostles, but for you too. The proof that Messiah rose in your life is your own Book of Acts. If you're living the power of the resurrection, then you're living in the Book of Acts. That means that every day you move from fear to confidence, from darkness to light, immorality to purity, and sorrow to joy. Live the Book of Acts - live in the power of the Spirit, in boldness, confidence and joy and all arguments will fall apart. For the best evidence of the Resurrection... is your Acts.
