"And he said to them, Do not be amazed and terrified; *you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here*. See the place where they laid Him." (Mark 16:6)

Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words].

Mark 16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The Resurrection
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome purchased [sweet-smelling] spices, so that they might go and [a]anoint Him. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, though it was extremely large. 5 Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a [long, stately] white robe; and they were amazed and bewildered. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there, just as He told you.’” 8 They went out and fled from the tomb, for they were seized with trembling and astonishment; and they said nothing [about it] to anyone, because they were afraid.

9 [b][Now Jesus, having risen [from death] early on the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. 10 She went and reported it to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.

12 After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them as they were walking along the way to the country. 13 They returned [to Jerusalem] and told the others, but they did not believe them either.

The Disciples Commissioned
14 Later, Jesus appeared to the eleven [disciples] themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He called them to account for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen [from death]. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 He who has believed [in Me] and has been baptized will be saved [from the penalty of God’s wrath and judgment]; but he who has not believed will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.”

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed.]

Weaponization of the Mind

The only power the enemy has is the power relinquished to him. He can only influence through thoughts introduced to the mind.

The Lord left instructions in His Word revealing the weapons of the mind to overcome the enemy:

Cast down vain imaginations, take captive every thought, and think the best of everyone and everything.

Renew the spirit of your mind daily and weaponize it to overcome the enemy. Transform your defensive mindset to offense and realize mighty victories in your life and in the lives of those you pray for.

After all, you are a chosen soldier:

Take some ground.

(Scott Harris)

Why then do Christians say Jesus died for our sins? If he eventually woke up? And is now in higher post (Yahweh's right hand) with better power pre-crucifixion?

How does taking 2 days off (out of eternal existence) for world sins sound like Jesus made an extraordinary effort to redeem humanity?

Especially if he was promised higher power if he did so?


Grow up christians. Jesus didn't die for you. He only sacrificed his weekend .
