I have always wondered why the Jews did not and still don't believe Christ resurrected after three days, until I was led to a scripture in the Bible, which shows it was JUST ONE LIE that nullified what Christ did. What was the lie?
The chief priests told the guards to lie that the disciples came to steal the body at night, while they were sleeping. They were given money to tell this lie and they told this lie. This lie is what has robbed many Jews the gift of Salvation.
Reminds me of Carol's story...
Carol was on the bed with her husband on that fateful Saturday morning, when her phone rang, it was her twin sister calling. Simultaneously, the door bell rang, David Her husband went for the door, while she recieved her call.
" Carol, please do me a favor, my husband will call you soon, tell him we were out all day yesterday.. Together...Tell him, we went shopping, and got back late around 11:45pm" Christy rushed her words
" But that is a lie, and I don't tell lies. " Carol answered
" Please, Carol, just this one lie, save my life, and I promise after this I.will stop my promiscuity..."She pleaded as she dropped the call...
Meanwhile, downstairs, David was been interrogated by some police officers, who found his ID card at a crime scene yesternite.
David told them he had nothing to do with the crime as he was at home, last night from around 6pm with his wife. He told them to let him call his wife, as she was a witness. He shouted Carol's name and told her to come downstairs.
Carol was on her way down, when Christy's husband called...
" Hello Emma.., Good morning, happy weekend... Fine... What? Your wife?.. Yes we were together yesterday till late at night... I even got home around 11:45pm ..ok.. No problem "
At this point, David rose up in shock and fear, as the officials were looking at him like they have nailed him...
" Carollll.... What sort of lie did you just tell, we were both at home.. " The officers cut in
" Mr David, don't put words in her mouth, you have been telling us lies, we have your wife's voice on record, definitely you were at the crime scene and you killed Miss Kike after you raped her" He brought out the handcuffs
" What? " Carol shouted
Before Carol could fully grasp what happened and explained what truly happened, her husband was behind bars.. Carol asked Christy to speak up, which she did, but the case was against them, because of just ONE LIE, that had been recorded.
David was sentenced to Life imprisonment and he spent 30 years before the real culprit was found, it was his cousin who had stolen his wallet. The victim had struggled with the rapist, it was then the wallet fell. The cousin picked it up, but the ID card had fallen.
JUST ONE LIE tampered with a man's destiny, be careful of every word that proceeds out of your mouth..
The one lie, the soldiers at the tomb of Jesus said thousands of years back, is still what is making the Jews resist CHRIST as the Messiah..
" They told the soldiers, "You must say, 'Jesus' disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body. So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day."
Matt 28:13&15
BE careful of that ONE LIE. it goes beyond you. It can affect Generations.
