b'Look at all the zombies coming out of the ground!\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d said Spencer, tossing a handful of popcorn in his mouth while watching the final minutes of his new favorite show, \\u201cLiving Zombies.\\u201d\\nHe tossed a pillow at his sixteen-year-old sister who sat curled up with a book on the sofa. \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Man, this show is fantastic, Izzy. You should watch it. There\\u2019s this Gleaner who can bring zombies back to life.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\n\\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153He might raise zombies, but I know someone who will raise us from the dead.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nAs you probably guessed, Izzy meant Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins. Three days later, He came back to life again, proving He\\u2019s God. Five hundred people saw Him after He rose from the grave. He told His followers He was going to heaven to prepare a place for us so that we\\u2019ll be with Him there when we die (John 14:1-3). And, one day, when He returns to make all things new, He will raise us back to life.\\nBut how can we get this forever (or eternal) life?\\nEternal life comes from God, the source of life. Death is caused by sin because sin separates us from God\\u2014and we all sin (Isaiah 59:2; John 14:6; Romans 3:23). The Bible, God\\u2019s Word, tells us that we must trust Jesus alone as our Savior from sin and death. He offers salvation as a gift to us by the power of His resurrection (Romans 10:9; Acts 17:30-31). Many times, when we\\u2019re given something, we have to give something back in return, but this gift of life is free (Romans 6:23).\\nSo, the good news is this: if we trust Jesus, He will always be with us, and when we die, it won\\u2019t be permanent. We will live with Him forever with resurrected bodies made new by Him.\\n\\u2022 Because of Jesus, death isn\\u2019t permanent. How does this truth affect your view of the future? \\n\\u2022 What questions do you have about today\\u2019s reading?
