āWhy do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has RISEN!ā Luke 24:5-6
Ā
Happy, happy, HAPPY Resurrection Sunday friends!! He is RISEN!! If you havenāt heard the story yet, spoiler alert, Jesus rose form the grave and this is H-U-G-E!!! š¤Æ
Ā
Iām not sure if youāve ever thought this through, but without the RESURRECTION, everything else means NOTHING š±
Ā
IN FACT, the centrality of the resurrection was my exact topic of conversation with filmmaker TIM MAHONEY last week when we discussed the RELIABILITY of the Bible (video linked ššš), so if you havenāt already watched it, do so TODAY for some BIG TIME encouragement!!
Ā
Yes! Jesus performed miracles and literally blew people away with his teachings, BUT his resurrection was the VERIFICATION of all his claims to divinity, his prophecies and MOST importantly his sacrificial DEATH on the cross for our sins.
Ā
Friends, WITHOUT the resurrection, our faith aināt worth NOTHINā!!! Howeverrrrrr ā¦ā¦
Ā
Itās REAL šĀ and thatās HOW we know the Gospel is true! Thatās also why the Gospel of Godās salvation is SO great! Itās because Jesusā resurrection means that WE will also be raised THROUGH FAITH in him!! This is exactly why I and SOOOOOOOOO many others call ourselves Christians! Itās because LIFE with Jesus gives us HOPE that we know will be fulfilled. We KNOW that because he was raised, because we will be raised AND because the whole world will one day be made perfect š
Ā
If you are a Christian, CELEBRATE today along with me Godās INCREDIBLE resurrection power and if youāre not ā¦.. well, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Todayās a great day to start! Express FAITH in Jesus and he will ROCK your world with his resurrection power!!
Ā
Application:
What does Jesusā resurrection mean to you?
Ā
Who can you share Godās great Gospel (good news of Jesusā resurrection) with today?
Ā
If youāre looking for proof that the Bible is true, WATCH my interview with TIM MAHONEY linked below and prayerfully consider embracing the HOPE of your own resurrection!!
