When they heard that he was alive
and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
LORD, help us to believe that you are alive! You want the truth that you are alive to be so apparent that no one can deny it.
Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign
was done through them, and we cannot deny it.
You want us to be so convinced that we can't help but speak about it.
It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.
Convince us and convict us, LORD. Plant the good news deep in our hearts so that it impacts everything we say and everything we do. Transform us so that our default posture is that of a missionary disciple. Ingrain it so deeply in us that it isn't something we have to remember or turn on but rather something we live.
He said to them, "Go into the whole world
and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.
We have trouble believing that any news this good could be true. But you live! And your life is the vindication of your truth, better than anything we could ask for or even imagine. Death is defeated! How can we help be speak of it?
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the LORD.
