"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
John 11:25
what is the resurrection to me?
- it's a hope, hope for a better life than being trapped in eternity in the sinful nature under the power of the evil one.
- empowerment by the Holy Spirit. It was through this same spirit that Christ was raised from the dead. if only we can live each day in the power of the resurrection, we will definitely be greatly empowered to do His will.
- It's a new life. Jesus promised us a new life after death- no more tears, hurt or sorrow. if we can live each day as an overcomer, this new life will be even more glorious. we'll not only get that mansion just over the hilltop, we'll get a whole hotel. yeah, dat's wat i believe.
- it's my message. Because he lives, we know we have a future, we know we're not alone. we know that we can somehow get through live's ups and downs by the mastermind of our creator. we know we didn't come here by accident.
"If we were united with him in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that we were crucified with him so that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin, because anyone who has died has ben freed from sin."
Romans 6:5-6
Take courage, we have been empowered by His resurrection!
