Devotionals

Have you ever thought what it would be like to serve a god that is dead? What would it be like to serve a god that has no idea what you're going through, or serve a god that has been proven to still be in the grave. Let's just name a few and see what is real and what is not real. Let's start with Buddha. There are 350 million Buddhists worldwide. Buddha was founded between 563-483 BC, so these facts so far show that he was not the creator. Buddha never prophesied nor did he ever perform miracles. Let's list one last known fact about Buddha. Buddha died and his body was cremated.

Now let's have a look at Muhammad. Over 1.2 billion people serve him. The religion was founded sometime in the seventh century AD. Muslims believe that Jesus was just a messenger of Allah. Muslims believe it is impossible for anyone who believes in Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection to gain salvation. Muslims believe that Jesus did not rise from the dead, but they're wrong. June 8, 632 was the death of Muhammad. He was placed in a grave in Medina and he still remains there.

So are any of these the real deal? I don't think so. You may say, "well how do you know this?" Let's take a journey.

Genesis 1: God is the almighty Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Jesus was sent, and anointed by God Himself for a unique mission. Jesus performed many miracles. Jesus made many prophesies. Jesus was crucified but was resurrected to life again. Yes, that's correct…HE LIVES! He is no longer in the tomb that they placed Him in.

In Acts 1:3 it says, "To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:" Then in v9 the Bible says, "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."

So let's think about this. He is the real deal. He is the One who deserves all honor and glory. He is the One who should be worshipped and praised. Not Buddha who still remains in an urn sitting on someone's hearth somewhere, and not Muhammad who's body still remains wrapped up and preserved in Medina. God is the only One who gives eternal life. God is the only One who knows what you're going through and He knows how to fix it.
