The Resurrection of Jesus took place on the first day of the week when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early while it was still dark and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Jesus is not dead but He is alive and has risen from the grave. A wonderful exchange took place. As we identify with His death, we also identify with His life. Jesus died so we could live. The greatest truth of the cross is that when we accept Christ as our Savior, we are born again and born from above. Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. We live in victory on this earth and begin to know Him in the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
He took our sickness and infirmities for our health. He took our curses for our redemption. He gave us peace for anxiety, love for hate, joy for sorrow, faith for fear, and goodness for evil. He took our hell and gave us heaven. We didn’t deserve it but He did it because of His love for each one of us. His grace and mercies are new every morning and His grace is sufficient for us.
Jesus told Martha, I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. Every religion in the world outside of Christianity has a grave or tomb where their leader is buried. Only in the Bible is it recorded that the tomb was found empty. Christ rose from the dead and is alive today! We often think of the cross as the end, but without the Resurrection, we have no Christianity. It is the Ressurection that makes Christianity different from other religions. Some portray Jesus as still on the cross, but He’s not there anymore. He’s alive in His Resurrected Body.
Ressurection Day is the most triumphant celebration of grace and life that we will ever experience on this earth. It is a celebration of God’s love and his awesome power. It holds the promise of not only eternal life to all who are willing to humbly receive it from Him. Also, to live a victorious life on this earth through the power of the Holy Spirit. We will spend eternity in our heavenly home with Jesus and all the saints of all ages. All when we receive this wonderful gift of love called salvation. By grace, you have been saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
From the time we are born until death, we are given the chance to choose our destiny. No one can choose it for us, not even God who created man with a free will which He cannot violate. He has set before us life and death. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.
He is alive forevermore!
