February 14, 2015 Bible Study — The Grave Is Empty

For today, One Year Bible Online links here. Happy Valentines Day to all of you reading this today, but especially to my lovely wife. If it was not for her encouragement and help I do not think that I would have been able to continue this Bible study for so long.

Proverbs 9:9-10

    The wise and the righteous are always willing to learn more. This is because they are aware that fear of the Lord is the foundation of all wisdom and knowledge of God is the source of good judgment.

Psalm 34:11-22

    Verse fourteen gives us a motto to live by:

Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

It is not enough to not do what is wrong, we must do what is good. If we want peace it will not just happen. We must search it out, and when we find it we must work, and work hard, to maintain it.

Matthew 28:1-20

    Mohammed is buried in Medina in the Mosque of the Prophet. The bodies of the founders of religions are in shrines in other parts of the world. Their followers make pilgrimages to those sites to approach them. But when the women went to Jesus’ grave that Sunday morning, they were told, “He isn’t here.” They then went into the tomb and observed that it was indeed empty.
    When the guards told some of the leading priests what had happened they were instructed to claim that the disciples had stolen the body while they were sleeping. Through out history people have tried to explain away the empty tomb, but it is still empty.

Exodus 37-38:31

    The people of Israel worked together under the direction of the two chief craftsmen to build what must have been a beautiful place of worship. All of the elements described sound like they would have been an overwhelming sight.
