It Looks So Real by Sally I. Kennedy
A few people drifted into the kitchen before the meeting, commenting one after another about the plant on the counter.
“I can’t believe that’s real!” “Is that orchid real?” “Oh wow, that can’t be real.”
Yes, it was real —a beautiful gift given to me about three years earlier by friends. Each year, it had bloomed magnificently. In between the flowering times, I placed it outside by the deck. There, in its ‘hibernation phase’, it could rest and prepare to bloom again.
“Could that be real?” A question posed a couple of thousand years ago, and sometimes still today. “Did Jesus really die? It looked so real.” Yes, He did really die, from the horrendous death of crucifixion. And, “Did Jesus really rise from the dead?” Yes, He did.
Many persons witnessed and spoke with the resurrected Christ. It is true and a fact that Jesus died and was resurrected to life in three days. This was all predicted and prophesied hundreds of years prior.
It looked so real because it was real. Thank God! He is risen, He is risen; indeed, today we have a living Savior.
That is GOOD NEWS!
