Resurrection of the dead.

"And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter" (Acts 17:32 KJV). We are living in the days when people mock us for what we believe in and stand for. Everyone is for themselves and has their own beliefs. It was no different when Paul went out and preached about Jesus Christ, His death at Calvary, and His resurrection from the grave. Oh how people mocked him and laughed at him. However, they did not mock or laugh at Paul but at Christ. The Message of the Cross will be an offense to many who hear it. Some received it and some did not, but that did not stop the Apostle Paul. He looked past the mocking, the laughing, and the persecution it brought. Nothing, I mean no power in Hell or on this earth, is going to stop the anointing of God. When the Lord is out in front of our lives and in total control, there is no turning back. How can one make an excuse to go back to the world? Many do go back because of some little opposition from the enemy. The Apostle Paul had every excuse to give up and run away from God, but Christ Jesus is not going to let us just get up and walk away so easily. He bought us and paid the penalty for us. What love He has given us! Look to Jesus. God bless you. Amen
