Matthew 13:17-28

One day when they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘The Son of Man is going to be handed over into the power of men; they will put him to death, and on the third day he will be raised to life again.’ And a great sadness came over them.

Which part did they hear? More importantly which part of the above passage stands out? If you are anything like me, it is usually the bad news that sticks in my head. He will be handed over, he will die. That is it!!! That is the only part I hear. There is also good news here. One that will last forever—- he will be raised to life again. This second part is forever. This is our joy, our help that he rises from the dead.

Here is an exercise for you today. Start training your mind and spirit to grab on to good news, to positive things that happen in your life. Here is some good news for you—— you are ALIVE!
