March 26, 2023. RESURRECTION
John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?
1 Peter 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Romans 6:4, 8:11 “We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, in order that, Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your moral bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
We often hear about the resurrection of Jesus, especially during the Easer season. Because we hear so much about it, it’s possible that we loose the impact of Jesus being raised from the dead. Certainly the birth of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus are the two greatest events of all of human history. As awesome as the birth of Jesus was, it would be to no avail if He had not been raised form the dead. When the deceased body of Jesus began to breath again, when His heart began to beat again, when He walked out of the tomb, death and sin were defeated-once for all! Death seems like such a powerful force-so final; BUT Jesus overcome death; death for the believer no longer rules. Jesus walking out of the tomb that early morning ushered in a new day-a day that changed everything. The resurrection of Jesus meant that the sin issue was dealt with for all who would trust Him as Savior; it meant that those who believed in Him would be saved for all eternity; it meant that believers could walk in newness of life; that those who put their faith in Jesus could experience joy and have a hope for the future. Just as Jesus died and was buried, we too are to die to ourselves and be buried with Him and then raised to new life; that is what water baptism symbolizes. The amazing promise is that those who believe in Him will never die-even though their natural body dies. The resurrection is all about life, forgiveness, newness, hope, and being made a part of the family of God. Whatever trials we may be facing at the present, let us be focused on the fact that Jesus overcame death and sin, and now we can share in His resurrection and experience His life in us.
Matthew 28:6 “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.”
