The Resurrection of Jesus Can Change Your Life
On April 7, 2023, we celebrated Good Friday when over 2000 years ago, Jesus went to the Cross for our sins. He died and spent three days in the grave. We look forward to Sunday, Resurrection Day when we celebrate His rising from the dead and declaring that all power is in His hands (Matthew 28:18). Because of His pain and suffering on the Cross, we have the right to walk victoriously in life.
What does this mean for us? Is His resurrection only useful for church sermons, feel good moments or does His life mean something for us in 2023? For those who believe the Bible, He lived then but most importantly He lives now. His death, burial and Resurrection was not simply a legend like the fables, mythology, and empty doctrines of the past, but He is a living God who lives in us (1 John 4:4). The leaders of other religions are still in their graves, but Jesus went into the grave, established His authority over the underworld and now lives through those who love Him (1 Corinthians 6:19).
Our mission today and every day is to tell everyone that the Resurrection weekend is real, is life-changing and Jesus wants to transform our lives for the better. Since He is for us, He is more than the whole world against us (Romans 8:31). Because of what He suffered we can face our todays and our tomorrows with hope, joy and peace knowing that the eternal God is real. We can ask Him for anything in His will and He said that will do it for us (1 John 5:14-15). Let us celebrate this time of blessings and tell others that He wants to do the same for everyone.
Matthew 28:18
New International Version
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
1 John 4:4
New International Version
4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 Corinthians 6:19
New International Version
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
Romans 8:31
New International Version
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 John 5:14-15
New International Version
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
