Importance Of Jesus Resurrection
In a time where the person of Jesus is being questioned please don’t allow the great meaning of His resurrection to be questioned in your life. Paul realized the pivotal importance of the resurrection and challenged us to focus on its central value:
For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. 1 Corinthians 15:16—19
Paul is clear that Jesus’ resurrection is the basis of God’s doing great things in our lives:
We can now make U-Turns in life—Regardless of our past we can change to walk with God.
We can now overlook our expiration date—Death is not the end of life but the start of a better life.
We can now shine in the rain—Our hope is not built on our experiences but on God’s promises.
Where does the power of the resurrection need to be applied in your life? Remember, He is risen, and so are we in Him!
