Resurrection!

For Thursday, September 29, 2022:

Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT: “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.”

Never underestimate the power of God Almighty! Never impose human limitations on your understanding of God.

God can overturn death; no human can do that! The Bible tells us of several people who were resurrected. It’s well documented.

The most well-known resurrection was God’s own Son, Jesus, who left the tomb after three days. Hundreds of people saw him up, out, walking around and speaking! Finally a crowd of believers watched Jesus ascend into heaven, to sit at God’s right hand.

None of this is surprising once we realize that God-the-creator made the whole earth and everything in it. And all who believe will be included in a miracle when Jesus welcomes us into the Kingdom with open arms!

Hope Eternal!

For Tuesday, September 13, 2022:

Mark 16:6 NLT: “But the angel said, ‘Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body.’”

On the cross, Jesus took the sin of the world upon himself. Past sin, present sin, future sin – he took it all to the place of the dead, offering forgiveness and eternal salvation to all who would believe.

Though Jesus was crucified, declared dead by the Roman Centurions, three days later the tomb was empty. An angel told the women, “Jesus is not here! He is risen from the dead!” So with that one act, Jesus solved mankind’s problems of both sin and death.

As Jesus ascended, he left us with hope eternal!
