Bubba's Back!

Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.  Acts 2:23-24

A few years ago, Bubba passed peacefully in his sleep at home. Bubba's relatives held a nice funeral and said farewell to the dearly departed. Then last month Bubba sent us all an invitation to connect on social media, and then a friend request! Bubba's back! 

For all the advances we can claim in this world, our most persistent 'resurrection' comes to us by way of the Internet. Profiles of the dearly departed reach out to us to reconnect and be friends. Email messages invite us to purchase things from the dead. And maybe we could let Bubba rest in peace but for those videos that website algorithm wants us to watch. 

Long before the Internet or social media, Peter preached of a man who did not remain in his tomb. He and many others testified of this resurrection through all manner of persecution. Their words were written down and published, and that testimony endured through all manner of attempts to destroy it. Today, you and I are heirs of this faith, and we testify of the risen Lord Jesus we believe in. 

Rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ!
