Jesus is Alive

...He came
Jesus said..."The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many"... "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him"..."I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
Matthew 20:28; John 3:16, 17; 10:10
...He died
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus Christ...gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age. For Christ died for our sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit.
Romans 5:6-8; Galatians 1:3, 4; 1 Peter 3:18
...He rose from the dead
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 4:25; 8:31, 32
Jesus said "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16.)
"What kind of good works?" you ask.
Your patience and courtesy in stressful situations, your gracious
attitude in the midst of difficulty, your willingness to stop and say thank you, or apologize when you're wrong, or interrupt your day to help someone?
That's called "making the boss look good"!
