Tammuz VS The Messiah

Thursday, November 18, 2021

In the ancient world there were strange foreshadows and substitutes of the resurrection in the myths of the dying and rising gods; Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis and Dionysius. All throughout the ancient world there were these yearly rights and rituals commemorating the death and resurrection of these mythological gods. It was all a myth. There was nothing historic about it. They didn't really believe that anything happened once and for all and it would change their lives. As believers, we have a real resurrection, but so many of us live as if it was a myth. It doesn't really affect our lives. We hear that He rose but we go back to our life and there's very little evidence that anything is changed. We have a real God, a real resurrection. Messiah rose for real in history so we have to live it for real and stop living as though it was a nice myth. Live the power of the resurrection every day. You really have to overcome. Every other good news is a myth but Messiah and his resurrection. You've got the real thing. He rose; you can do the same.
