THE CHOICE
F A C T, N O T F E E L I N G S
Sometimes people dont get any
evidence when they pray to rece
Jesus as their Savior, and theyre
disappointed because it wasnt
manifested by some supernatur
or physical experience right then
and there. But it doesnt matterhow you feel; from the instant yo
asked God for the gift of salvatio
you have had it. You know your
saved because God promised it,
because of what He said about it
His Word. Your faith is built on fa
not feelings.
David Brandt Berg1Revelation 3:20
H E L I V E S
He lives! He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me,
And talks with me,
Along lifes narrow way.
He lives! He lives!
Salvation to impart.
You ask me how I know He lives,
He lives within my heart!Alfred H. Ackley
Perhaps He has been
standing there for
yearswaiting for you
to hear Him knocking
, k :
Jesus, please orgive me or all mysins. I believe that You died or me.I open the door to my heart and Iinvite You into my lie. Please fllme with Your love, help me get toknow You, and guide me in the wayo truth. Amen.

The Resurrection proclama-
tion could not have been
maintained in Jerusalem for
a single day, for a single hour,
if the emptiness of the tomb
had not been established as
a fact.Paul Althaus, German
theologian (18881966)
1Acts 1:3; 13:31
21 Corinthians 15:38
32 Peter 1:16
41 John 1:1,3
[Thenarratives of the
Resurrection found in the four
Gospels] have all the artlessness
of simple honesty. They furnish
just such testimony as the factswould warrant, and such as
plain people convinced beyond
any question or doubt would
give. They have all the signs of
veracity.Doremus Hayes, U.S.
theologian and author (b. 1863)

9Revelation 3:20
101 Corinthians 15:34
This band of disciples was
beaten and weary, yet almost
overnight it transformed
itself into a victorious faith
movement. If this had occurred
simply on the basis of auto-
suggestion and self-deceit,
it would have been a much
greater miracle than the
Resurrection itself.Pinchas
Lapide, Jewish theologian
(19221997)
I have been used for many
years to study the histories of
other times, and to examine
and weigh the evidence of
those who have written about
them, and I know of no onefact in the history of mankind
which is proved by better and
fuller evidence of every sort,
than the great sign which
God has given us that Christ
died and rose again from the
dead.Thomas Arnold, English
historian (17951842)

Triumphant, risen from their tom
Their bulbs have undergone

Symbolically, to tell all men
That Christ, the Savior, lives agai
The angels, pure and white as th

And with the lifting of the stone
The shadow of the cross is gone

Jesus, I was nothing, yet You
came and died for me so that Yo
might always have me with You.
You reached down to the depth
for me, and I took hold of Your
hand. Sometimes, though, I get
so caught up in the cares of thislife and the things around me th
I forget You. But even when I do
You understand and keep loving
me and encouraging me to com
to You. You keep reminding me
that Youre always there, waiting
for me to come to You and be
refreshed and renewed. When I
turn my attention to You, Your lo
reaches down and touches myheart, and I am renewed!
