...real

Then Jesus told him (Thomas), "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."  John 20:29

A few people drifted into the kitchen before the meeting, commenting one after another about the plant on the counter.  “I can’t believe that’s real!”  “Is that orchid real?”  “Oh wow, that can’t be real.” Yes it was real, a beautiful gift about three years earlier from friends. Each year since it had bloomed magnificently. In between the flowering times, I placed it outside by the deck. There, in its ‘hibernation phase’, it could rest and prepare to bloom again.

“Could that be real?” A question posed a couple thousand years ago, and sometimes still today.

“Did Jesus really die? It looked so real.” Yes, He did really die, from the horrendous death of crucifixion. And, “Did Jesus really rise from the dead?” Yes He did!!!   Many persons witnessed and spoke with the resurrected Christ. It is true and a fact that Jesus died and was resurrected to life in three days. This was all predicted and prophesied hundreds of years prior

It looked so real because it was real. 
Thank God! He is risen, He is risen indeed; today we have a living Savior.
That is GOOD NEWS!!!
