Dead or Alive?

Tweet

Long lines of visitors from all over the world wait patiently day after day to visit Lenin's Tomb and view his embalmed body. Although he died in 1924, the corpse of that Communist leader has seemingly suffered no decomposition. It looks deceptively lifelike. And it's appearance is indeed deceptive. Skillful artists monitor the preserved corpse, artificially coloring its face and using wax to fill in any lines or the smallest spot over decay. People also regularly visit Jerusalem to see the place where Jesus died and was buried. But there's a striking contrast - there is no body of the crucified Christ anywhere. He was resurrected like a butterfly abandoning its cocoon. Jesus is alive and you can know His presence today. Because of His atoning death and the empty tomb, you can have eternal life. You need only to admit that you are a sinner and want His salvation. He'll give you new life now, and one day you'll see Him and be with Him forever. - V. Grounds
