A Major Reason Why Jesus Had To Rise

As we considered five reasons why Jesus had to rise from the dead let us not forget a major one that is to affect us—so that we can intimately walk with the resurrected Jesus each day of our lives. This is the desire Paul has in mind as he penned a life goal in Philippians 3:10:

“that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.” 

My prayer is that each of us will walk through this day as if having one hand outstretched to remind us that our greatest need is to walk hand-in-hand with Jesus. I know that it is only then that we will experience the resurrection power of a risen Savior on a daily basis.
