"Reason to Praise"


Luke 24:53
"And they spent all of their time in the Temple , praising God."



When you come to realize that Jesus is alive and not dead you can't help but praise HimIn this passage of Luke, Jesus had just been crucified, buried, resurrected, revealed to his disciples, and now taken up into Heaven. And the response of the disciples was to run to the Temple and praise God!

Any person who truly 
grasps what Jesus has done for them through His salvation, then the "true" response should be as King David when the presence of God came back to Jerusalem; radical praise before God! Churches should be filled with people praising God because Jesus still reveals himself to us through His saving grace.

Praise should be a response of knowing Jesus is alive. If people understood that he is alive and has been revealed
, then praise should come naturally. To sing, to clap, to jump, to shout, to dance before God in His temple all just because of what He has done for us! 

And they spent all of their time in the Temple 
praising God. There is a reason to Praise!
