Jesus VS. Zombies

Jesus VS. Zombies

Written by: Jill Sheets


I was on social media on Easter when a question came up. If Jesus rouse from the dead, wouldn't that make him a Zombie? I have to admit I was taken back by this question. I had never heard this question before. I wanted to answer this person's question, but if you know me I try not to make waves.


When I think about zombies, I think about brain-eating beings, like the ones in my favorite Zombie movie " Zombieland."  


Zombies... Zombies... Zombies...  When you think about Zombies, is this how you see them? They walk slowly with their arm stuck out in front of them. Their bodies decaying, and they make moaning sounds. Let's just get real. If Zombies are real they would be mindless. They are not alive, but they are undead. It depends on what movie or show you are watching; even books can portray them differently. For some reason, I believe I saw a show or movie where the Zombies run, and there are some that fall in love.

 

Jesus was resurrected and rose from his tomb. Along with Jesus, the holy people who had died rose from their graves. They were not zombies either (see below-- Matthew 27:50-54).


Jesus was able to talk to his disciples and other people, which he could not do if he were a zombie.  He loved everyone and was intelligent.  Nothing like them.

My point is that Jesus, my Lord, and Savior, was not a zombie. He will be returning, and when he does, he will not be a zombie.


But if you see a REAL zombie, don't forget to double-tap.  If you have no idea what that means, watch "Zombieland."

Matthew 27:50-54


50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split

52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
