Jesus is Alive!!!

Jesus is alive!

"Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.  
They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.  
As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. 
He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast.  
One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 
“What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.  
The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;  but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.  
In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning  
but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.  
Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 
He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!  
Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”  
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. 
As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther.  
But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. 
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.  Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.  
They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” 
They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together  and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.”  
Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.” 
Luke 24:13-24.
Above is the story of the men on the road to Emmaus who meet Jesus after his resurrection. It clearly states that people seen Jesus after he had died and rose from the dead. That he was in bodily form.
This is a claim that is unique to Christians. The Author and Finisher of our faith is the One and Only Son of God, Jesus.
We believe Jesus lived a perfect life, died for sins he didn’t commit was buried and rose from the grave victorious. That he ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father.  He did this for us. The apostle Paul writing,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 
Romans 5:8.
The message of the Christians want people to know is that God and Jesus are very much alive and loves them Jesus himself each and every person a choice when he said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                         John 3:16-18
The choice is yours. Paul speaking to his Jailor said,
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved....” 
                                                                         Acts 16:31a.
