putting Jesus back into the tomb.

Putting Jesus back into the tomb.

               When we consider the tomb, and Christ resurrection, There are extremely important things that we must understand.

What was the tomb? How does it apply to us today?

What was the resurrection? What did it do for Jesus? What does it do for us today?

How does all this work? what does all this mean now?

                If we can see the purpose and reason for all this, then we will understand why Satan is committed to destroying this truth, in the minds of Gods people.  The truth and experience of this miraculous event, is like the atomic Bomb on total steroids!

It is no wonder satan hates it and is committed to destroying it in any way possible!

 Let us consider some of the ways satan is working to destroy, undermine, confuse, and deny this miraculous passage of scripture!

               The resurrection of Christ was the final proof of his deity as the son of God. All the things Jesus did and said, would be a farce, if he did not actually have the power of God, and the power to come back to life!  all the things he said about forgiveness and salvation, the hope of heaven, and the power over the grave and death, power over sin and over the devil, all would have been a deception, if he did not prove his own power, to conquer sin, death, satan and the grave. And then come back to prove it.

 His life was living proof, that he could live without sin.

His cruel crucifixion, was to be the substitute for us, his death paid the debt of our sins.  We deserved to die. But he took our place.

His blood was the remedy for our forgiveness.

His tomb, was proof of his death.

BUT, did he really have the power to conquer sin! To overcome death! To overcome the grave! And come back to life, from the dead?

The grave could not hold him. Sin had no claims on him. Death was powerless to stop him. Satan, with all his winning arts, was in total defeat.

BUT all this depended on the proof of Christ power, as the son of God. For three days and three nights, the earth waited.  Asking where was Jesus? I thought he said he had the power over death? He said he would be raised back up? So where is he? If he was really the son of God, as he said he was, then where is he?

               The scripture reveals that for those three days and nights,

 Jesus went into the regions of the underworld

cast satan out,

took the keys to death and hell from satan,

went into Hades, the place of fire and burnings, there he preached to the millions of souls, that had never heard the gospel,

then led those who accepted his salvation, into a triumphant entry into heaven, under the banner of salvation

Then met Mary at the tomb, where she was in complete despair,

later met with the disciples at various places, when he proved himself to be the son of God!

He was alive and well, full of all power in heaven, and had all authority of the universe. 

ALL BECAUSE OF THE RESSURECTION!

Satan lost at the cross, he lost in the regions of darkness, he lost the keys to death, he lost the power of  hell, and he lost at the grave.  But, being cast out, he set his sights to deceive the whole earth, that Jesus was not the son of God, and that Jesus could not do the things he promised!

How does satan go about to do his deceptions? By lies! satan is the father of lies.

If satan can convince people, the things Jesus said were not true, then he has succeeded in the minds of those he has deceived: that Christ was not the son of God, and that his resurrection was faked!

Satan is working hard at Convincing people:

1. that you cannot stop sinning. All forgiveness come when you die.
2. Salvation is by works, not Jeus.
3. Your good deed must outweigh your bad deeds.
4. The bible is full of errors.
5. Its not the word of God.
6. Churches are full of hypocrite
7. Christianity is a religion for weak minded people.
8. Success is proof of your righteousness.
9. Image and power are more important than truth.
10. We are our own gods. Destiny is in our hands.
11. Humanity came about by evolution. We evolved into human beings. From monkeys, that came from water, that came from rocks.
12. There is no heaven, there is no hell. Earth is all we get.

The list of lies that satan puts out, is longer than the list of names, of all who ever lived. Satan has lied to all of them, multiple times.

In today’s crazy world of sin, satan has succeeded in convincing mankind of every lie he ever told.  This includes the many thousands of religious organizations, that have been lied to and deceived! They preach a compromised twisted truth!

Let’s look at some examples, of satans lies. as he tries to put Jesus back into the tomb.

Putting Jesus back into the tomb by:

1. Deny Christ resurrection by:  twisting the scriptures. Such as paraphrased bible, personal interpitations, and deceptive dreams and visions.
2. Deny Christ resurrection by: living a doubles standard! This convinces all who see your hypocrisy, that religion is a big lie.
3. Deny Christ resurrection by:  making up a false understanding of, who and what Christ really was. this is called a false Christ.
4. Deny Christ resurrection by:  damnable theologies of error.
5. Deny Christ resurrection by:  using human reasoning of this world.
6. Deny Christ resurrection by:  using substitute experiences, and calling it the “holy Spirit.” Substitutes such as emotions, drama, fanaticism, and false unity. Using outright lies and calling it a “better understanding.” Or “enlightenments.”
7. Deny Christ resurrection by:  highlighting the faults of others.
8. Deny Christ resurrection by: building a dynasty of followers, instead of building the kingdom of God.
9. Deny Christ resurrection by:  rejecting scripture as “confusing.”
10. Deny Christ resurrection by:  of our shallow priorities, bad choices, and shallow loyalties.
11. Deny Christ resurrection by:  making excuses for why we cannot stop sinning.
12. Deny Christ resurrection by:  the hardening of our hearts and conscience.
13. Deny Christ resurrection by:  not loving the scriptures, and believing a lie.
14. Deny Christ resurrection by:  following personalities, instead of Christ.

The outcome of putting Jesus back into the tomb.

1. The wretched life that we live in darkness, without hope and under condemnation.
2. The judgment of God. As we face the terror and horror of judgement, and the path of destruction we left behind by our influence on others.
3. The eternal punishments in another world.

The burnings, cursing, begging, screeching, thrashing in the flames, the fist swinging and kicking, the horror, the terror of the tormenters, the, hopelessness, despair, helplessness, the extreme feelings of doom, darkness, the smell, the heat, the hatred, bitterness, and fear.

               The evil actions done in this world, will be repeated in that world of torments. But those same actions, will not bring the mockery or the laughter, as it did in this world. It will produce even more misery and suffering, as we experience firsthand, the awfulness of those actions.

               In that world of torments, there will be eternal confessions. Screamed out, begged out, cursed out. But there will be no forgiveness.  No reprieve, no mercy, and no hope, ever!

               The dark secrets done in this world, will be screamed out in eternity. Never stopping, nothing hidden. Those who were injured by our darkness and words, may very well be there, to hear you scream them out. Those same injured souls, will be waiting for you there, to take out their eternal vengeance on you. There is no such thing as mercy in that world.

The saddest of all realities is: it did not have to end this way! you spent your life putting Jesus back in the tomb! And you will spend eternity, in another world suffering, because of it!

               Sinner, liar, hypocrite, deceiver, blasphemer, drunkard, druggie, loser. And whosoever loves and makes a lie, shall not enter therein, but shall be cast out, into outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

It would seem as though Satan is winning. But the real truth is: Satan lost at the cross! All who follow his deceitful ways of sin, will perish along with Satan and all his followers. Hell is enlarging its-self to receive the multitudes that are descending into it.  This evil world that has followed satan, has been led into every type of insanity there is.  The graveyards are expanding, the prisons are full, the hospital are running over. The insane asylums are becoming bankrupt.  The government is ripe with vice. Churches are promoting satans lies.  immorality is practiced and accepted in every area of life. homes and families are being destroyed by the internet and sensual mass media. The courts are buried in cases of every kind.

 So, the question we want to consider is: what happened to America?

The answer is:  the same thing that has happened to other civilization, that didn’t read their bible, to find the truth, they believed lies instead.  And satans lies has destroyed them!

What a tragic contrast to the truth of Gods word, that promises hope, help, forgiveness, deliverance, and victory!  Salvation by faith in Jesus Christ! The power of God in us, as we walk with God, in this life!

And finally, we must ask, are we putting Jesus back in the tomb, by falling for satans lies, and not knowing or believing what the bible actually says?

In reality, we cannot put Jesus back in the tomb physically or spiritually. But if our lives, or our thinking is contrary to what the Bible says, then we are denying Christ, because we are denying his word as the final authority in our lives. Christ and the Word are ONE!

What is the message of the life we live?
