In All The Wrong Places

Luke 24:5 " And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, why seek ye the living among the dead"?

We must seek the Lord while he may be found, but many are looking for Him in all the wrong places. Finding Jesus is not a matter of denomination, the church you attend, or even the pastor/bishop you might serve under. No finding Jesus is a matter of searching our hearts.

Here in our scripture, the women came seeking Jesus, they were asked why seek the living among the dead? Many today still seek Jesus among the dead. See He is not on that cross you wear around your neck, or in the bumper sticker, or fish symbol on your bumper. Jesus is alive, and living in the heart of every one that hears Him knocking and lets Him in. He is alive, He is the living word of God. He is alive in the love shared one to another, alive in the giving and forgiving between two people. Yes we should seek Jesus, but we should not seek the living among the dead. We need to look into our hearts, for He says He is as near to us as our hearts.

Jesus died on a cross for the sin of the world, and rose the third day morning with all power in His hands. Let us seek Him while He might be found with all of our hearts, and then take Him into a dying world that all might know the good news of salvation.
