“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”
– Matthew 28:6
 Happy Resurrection Day! However you are celebrating today, now is the perfect time to invite Jesus to make every part of you come alive! Today offers us the opportunity to embrace the truth that through His shed blood, every cross this life inflicts has been resurrected. Our Lord took upon Himself the full spectrum of pain, loss, and heartbreak common to being human and declared His finished work before He bowed His head to die.
Three days later, with no fanfare, He got up from His grave, left it sitting empty, and went on doing the work of His Kingdom. While death paid Him a visit, it couldn’t hold him down, and since He overcame, He offers us an opportunity to do the same! Jesus is alive, and because He triumphed over the grave, He invites you to experience His resurrection power in every area of your life! My friend, no matter how dark the road may seem or how real the pain you have experienced, Christ has conquered it through His blood. Yes, you may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but nothing can stop redemption from springing forth because He is with you. You are sealed by His Spirit, and He is transforming you from glory to glory, even as you face uncertainty. Christ has broken every chain and filled your life with an abundance of good things that you inherit by faith. Although you may not see them all clearly now, when you meet Him face-to-face, you will fully understand how perfectly He has redeemed you! |
Prayer
