Resurrection Power

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26

Even though it’s a historical fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried and resurrected on the third day, yet there is more to it than just history. The resurrection power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is available to work wonders in your life also.

The resurrection power helps you to live above sin and have a relationship with God rather than just mere religion.

No matter what you’re going through today, Jesus is there. He is alive and with you. Remember, He is Immanuel – God with us. The resurrection assures us of this.

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything and is the basis for our future hope. Aside from the resurrection of Christ, we have no future hope. The apostle Paul explains that if Christ has not been raised then we, out of all people, are most to be “pitied,” for our hope in Christ fails to extend beyond present life (1 Corinthians 15:19).

But since Christ has been raised, we are those who can look death in the face knowing that it has no final victory, no lasting sting (1 Corinthians 15:54-55). Because Christ is risen, we have the assurance that our efforts in sharing the gospel that Christ is risen is not pointless or without purpose, but will matter forever. Without the resurrection, we have no gospel, no salvation, no saving message and no future.

“He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 25:8
