But God Raised Jesus From The Dead


Having just celebrated Easter last week, what better "But God" verses are there to focus on than Acts 13:29-30? Praise the Lord for the Resurrection!

But God...Raised Jesus From The Dead

Acts 13:29-30
“When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.”

"Two words within the Bible that cut right through the strife.
Two simple words with power that can change a person’s life.
These words can speak to every heart, whatever path is trod.
We know in every circumstance, apply the words, “But God…”

The Author of all life was crucified by His creation!
It seemed the cause of Christ was lost with great humiliation.
But God would have the final say and overruled the grave.
His power raised Him from the dead and now our souls are saved!"


1 Corinthians 6:14
“By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.”

Ephesians 1:18-23
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”

Point Of Praise
Praise You Jesus! Praise You for going to the Cross to pay for the sins of the world! Praise You for taking the punishment that I deserved and for redeeming my soul! Thank You Lord Jesus for the knowledge that death couldn’t hold You. Thank You that the power that raised You from the dead is the same power that works through Your people now!
Praise You, Heavenly Father for Your loving heart towards Your people. You endured seeing Your own Son go to the Cross so that You might save our souls for eternity. Praise You, praise You, praise You, Lord! May the name of the Risen King be glorified forever!
