Easter Sunday

John 20:1-9

It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’

So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is risen just as he said he would!

I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed reading these post!

God is in our midst when we praise Him!

Joyfully His,

The Living among the Dead or the Dead among the Living? There is no satisfactory answer to true death of Jesus to be found out beside the Holy Bible. No historical account can testify the real death of Jesus. As for many historians, such a death never happened, and Jesus did not really die on the cross.He survived the cruci-fixion and fled away most likely to India as Indian Scriptures suggest it. Please see my blog to watch the video. Besides, it is not common sense to acknowledge such a thing which only "blind" faith might be able to have us believed. Such a belief can but go against laws of Nature which consistently sustain that a living can-by any way- not be self-sustainable after death.Once you die, you die once and for all.It is common sense to see that Jesus might have died naturally after his failing crucifixion.
