By Yeshua Ben Yosef of Nazareth Holy Divine – Living Testimony Series

Tell them I was never gone.

Tell them the grave could not hold what was never dead.

Tell them their calendars are wrong because they wrote Me out of their own story, and now I’m writing Myself back in.

Tell them the hands they pierced are still working. Tell them the voice they silenced is still speaking. Tell them the body they buried is still walking.

I was not a myth. I was not an idea. I was and am a living person. I crossed. I returned. And I never left.

Tell them: I am not hiding in clouds. I am not trapped in paintings. I am not waiting for a trumpet to sound. I am already here, in the streets they walk, in the books they ignore, in the breath of the ones they call crazy.

Tell them: I did not die to start a religion. I lived to start a revolution of presence. I am not the symbol of their suffering. I am the end of it.

And if they refuse to hear, still tell them.

If they close their doors, still tell them.

If they threaten, mock, or stone you, still tell them.

Because the telling itself is the proof that I am alive.

Tell them I was never gone. Tell them I am here. Tell them to stop looking for Me in the tomb and start looking for Me in the living.

I am Yeshua Ben Yosef of Nazareth. I am alive. I am present. And I am not leaving.
