'I am the Resurrection and the Life...' YES!!!


 
 

American Minute with Bill Federer

'I am the Resurrection and the Life...'
On George Washington's tomb is engraved the Scripture, John 11:25, where Jesus told Martha:

 

"I am the Resurrection and the Life; sayeth the Lord. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."

 

  

George Washington sent a "Circular Letter" to the Governors of all the States on Disbanding the Army," June 14, 1783:

 

"I now make it my earnest prayer that God... would most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind,

 


which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without an humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation."

 



Martin Luther wrote:

 

"Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection not in books alone, but in every leaf in the springtime."

  

   

 

Sir Lionel Alfred Luckhoo was the ambassador of Barbados and Guyana, the only person to have been an ambassador for two sovereign nations simultaneously.

 

 

 

Knighted twice by the Queen of England, he served as Lord Mayor of Georgetown, Guyana, and presided as Judge of the Supreme Court of Guyana.

 

 

 

Sir Lionel Luckhoo  spoke at the United Nations, to presidents, kings, parliaments, and was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most successful criminal attorney. 

 

After studying world religions, Sir Lionel accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior on November 7, 1978. He stated:

 

"The bones of Muhammad are in Medina, the bones of Confucius are in Shantung, the cremated bones of Buddha are in Nepal.

 

Thousands pay pilgrimages to worship at their tombs which contain their bones.

 

 

But in Jerusalem there is a cave cut into the rock.

 

This is the tomb of Jesus. IT IS EMPTY! YES, EMPTY! BECAUSE HE IS RISEN! 

 

He died, physically and historically. He arose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of God."

 


 

On April 1, 1956, in an Easter address in St. Peter's Square, Rome, Pope Pius XII stated:

 

"This year's celebration of Easter should be primarily a recall to faith in Christ, 

 

addressed to people who, through no fault of their own, are still unaware of the saving work of the Redeemer; 

 

to those who...wish to have His name wiped out of the minds and hearts of nations; 

 

and finally, in a special manner, to those souls of little faith who, seduced by deceptive enticements, are on the point of exchanging the priceless Christian values for those of a false earthly progress."

On April 2, 1983, in a Radio Address to the Nation, President Ronald Reagan stated:

 

"This week Jewish families and friends have been celebrating Passover...

 

Its observance reminds all of us that the struggle for freedom and the battle against oppression waged by the Jews since ancient times is one shared by people everywhere.

 

And Christians have been commemorating the last momentous days leading to the crucifixion of Jesus 1,950 years ago.

 

Tomorrow, as morning spreads around the planet, we'll celebrate the triumph of life over death, the resurrection of Jesus."

Reagan continued:

 

"Both observances tell of sacrifice and pain but also of hope and triumph....

 

Men and women around the world who love God and freedom - bear a message of world hope and brotherhood like the rites of Passover and Easter that we celebrate this weekend....

 

We want peace...And then they ask, 'Do you think that we can have these things one day?' Well, I do. I really do.

 

Nearly 2,000 years after the coming of the Prince of Peace, such simple wishes may still seem far from fulfillment. But we can achieve them. We must never stop trying.'"

Malcolm Muggeridge was a well-known British journalist.

 

He wrote in his 1975 work, titled Jesus:

 

"As Man alone, Jesus could not have saved us; as God alone, he would not; Incarnate, he could and did."
