The greatest event that separates Jesus from all others is the fact that He rose again and lives today. † He intercedes for those who follow Him at the right hand of the Father.(Heb 7:25)
.
APPEARANCE IN HEAVEN
Revelation 5:6: Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.
In eternity, Jesus will bear the marks of His crucifixion. Rev 5:6 
suggests that He appears in heaven with the marks as a Lamb "looking as if it had been slain". We know that when He appeared to Thomas that He bore the scars of the nails and the spear in His side.(John 20:26-28)
John 20:27-31 . . . . Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
It is also worth considering reasons as to why He was not immediately recognized after His resurrection. . . . In John 21:12, it is stated that the disciples did "not dare to ask Him His identity, because they knew that it was the Lord." It is possible that His resurrection body still has the marks of His beatings.
"The body of His glorification will be the body of His humiliation."
Are we ready to meet Him? What have we done with what He has given to us?. Today, He encourages us to consider the cost of the cross and to apply it to our own lives.
The Bible, God's Word (II Timothy 3:16-17), relates how God once had a personal relationship with man. God would talk and relate to man, just as you might relate to your best friend. God created You and me to give us a meaningful and purposeful life!!
Man (Adam & Eve) chose to go his own way by disobeying God. This disobedience, called sin, caused a break in the relationship between man and God. If a man casually seeks a relationship with God by his own efforts (religion), he will find nothing, because sin has broken the communication. (Isaiah 59:2)
Christianity is not about religion or rules or rites its is the story of A God who was willing to sacrifice His Son to restore a relationship that was broken.
Because He gave His life on the cross, any one who believes in Him will have a restoration of a personal relationship with God.
This was an E X T R E M E action. And it is for you. He wasn't a victim - Jesus Christ chose to do this - to be PIERCED for you!
Because He Loves You to the Extreme! Haven't you ever wanted a love like that? You can know this man who loves you like no other
.
God desires that all come to know Him in a personal way. If you have never really thought about having a real and personal relationship with the One who created the Galaxy - Think about it...... Jesus' gift of Himself for you is not a illution.
A relationship with the Creator is not a crutch - it is not a form of brainwashing... it is real... If you are unsure how to begin or have any doubts if you can have a meaningful and purposeful life by the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ, you can e-mail me or even start on your own by praying a simple prayer, such as:
God, I need to know that you are real. I need to know the truth. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Please come into my heart and make yourself real to me and become the Lord of my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
I can guarentee your life will change
If you have prayed this prayer, please let me know by e-mail. It would be a real blessing.
