Splitting Rocks

"And the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many." Matthew 27: 52, 53 NKJV

With power grids maxed to their limit and the grinding wheels of over worked power generators, were is our power. The natural world craves more power. Our lives, homes, and work depend upon the continuous supply of power. So it is in our spiritual lives.

How powerful is Christ’s resurrection? Is it powerful enough to raise your dead dreams? Can your wayward children return to the correct path of righteousness? If in doubt, consider this: "and the graves were opened and many….". Can the worldly opinions and scholarly teaching raise the spiritually dead? When Christ died the natural world quaked and the rocks split. Nothing can or will sap the resurrection power from Christ.

Just about everyone knows the cross but few understand this awe-inspiring verse. For many years I read the account of Christ’s death but missed this jewel. God didn’t forget his own. Resurrection power knows no limits. It transcends your trials, heartaches, and dead dreams. Come! Let Christ raise your life. Walk through the city and astound many gnaw says. Because you asked Christ into your broken dreams and shattered life. Make Jesus lord of your life.
