Resurrection Sunday

After reading through all the Gospels and their different accounts of the Resurrection, I have been struck by two things: 

  1. How everyone who encountered Jesus’ resurrected body either didn’t recognize him or doubted him. 
  2. That Mary Magdalene was there at the Crucifixion, was present as Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus in his personal tomb and was present on the Resurrection day. She was also the first person to see Jesus in His resurrected body.

¿QUIEN ES TU NÍNEVE? por Kerry A. Olson

English Version Click Here


La palabra de Dios vino a Jonás hijo de Amitay:«Anda, ve a la gran ciudad de Nínive y proclama contra ella que su maldad ha llegado hasta mi presencia».

Jonás se fue, pero en dirección a Tarsis, para huir de Dios. Bajó a Jope, donde encontró un barco que zarpaba rumbo a Tarsis. Pagó su pasaje y se embarcó con los que iban a esa ciudad, huyendo así de Dios.   – Jonás 1:1-3


Hay un gran contraste en la respuesta de Jonás al llamado de Dios de ir a Nínive y la de Abraham cuando Dios lo llamó a dejar todo para “ir a la tierra que Dios le mostraría”.(1) Jonás sabía exactamente dónde lo quería Dios, debía ir a Nínive y él fue en la dirección opuesta. Abraham, por el contrario, no tenía idea de cuál dirección debía ir, simplemente tenía que poner un pie delante del otro (empezar a moverse) y confiar en la palabra de Dios.

WHO IS YOUR NINEVEH? By Kerry A. Olson

Español versión clic aqui


“The word of the Lord came to Jonah… saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.”  But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. So, he went down to Joppa, found a ship which was going to Tarshish, paid the fare, and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.”
 ― Jonah 1:1-3

There is a stark contrast between how Jonah responded to God’s call to go to Nineveh and that of Abraham, who when God called him to leave everything to “go the land God would show you.”(1)  Jonah knew exactly where God wanted him to go — Nineveh and he went the opposite direction!  Abraham, on the other hand, had no idea which direction he was to go. He simply had to put one foot in front of the other (begin to move) and trust God’s word.

There Is An Escape

For this article in Spanish, clic Español

There is an escape from dominance by the spirit of the age, which is Christ and His grace. The systems and strategy that the enemy uses against us, we are no match for, in our own strength. This can be clearly seen in the example of the man and the woman in the garden of old. To face spiritual forces in natural strength creates a very predictable outcome. But let’s not lose heart! We have access to the Tree of Life, Himself!
