Acts 13:30 - "But God raised Him from the dead;"
An extraordinary verse! Paul's use of the word
"but" turns every religion on its ear through his proclamation of
Christ's resurrection. Christianity is the only religion in the world to tout a
savior dying for a lost race. Jesus Christ tells us there is nothing we can do
to gain God's favor -- He has done it all by dying for us and giving us new
life.
Never let someone say that Jesus was just a good, moral
teacher. If that was the case, there was no need for His death. The
"but" qualifies Him to be not only the Great Teacher but the Supreme
Lord that rules and reigns in our hearts. That is, if we let Him. May none of
us stop short of allowing the death, burial, and resurrection to change our
lives.
