Why do you look for the living among the dead?

 Luke 24:5 “In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”    2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come!”  Isaiah 1:18 “ Come now and let us reason together”,  says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”  

Why do you look for the living among the dead? When I quit drinking? I had to intentionally find friends that didn’t drink. One of my dearest friends says, “you can have friends that are not in the program,  but your best friends should be in the program.” The people in our sphere of influence, need to be the people that can lift us up.   Need to be the people that are willing to show us where we are messing up.   If you have been washed white as snow why do you go play in the middle of the and expect to stay clean?    Why do you look for the living among the dead?   Be a good friend, keep good friends in your inner circle.
