HE WHO LIVES

Revelation 1:18 (NKJV) 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
   The Bible tells us while we live without Christ in our lives we are dead, there is no real living in us,  And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, Ephesians 2:1 we need the presence of God in us to be alive in Him.
   While visiting a man in hospice, he confirmed a life of selfish living and wished death would not take him until He was right with God. We discussed a need for trusting the One true God with his whole heart,  the man asked to pray and confessed He didn't know God because it was never explained clearly. He asked the Lord Jesus to come into his life and the whole room revealed Gods presence. The man sat up on his bed and proclaimed he had never experienced this before, feeling the burdens of his whole life released. He said, "now I am ready to meet God," and he did just one hour later.
   He who lives is in Christ is alive forevermore, will you live forever with Him?
Heavenly Father help us to share You with those around us humbly, hopefully, and clearly, that they might know You. Amen
