Jesus is Risen!
What the Resurrection Means for You
He is risen!
The humble, servant king has conquered sin and death. He is alive.
For a unique period of human history, Jesus — God in human flesh — dwelt among us as a man. Being eternally God, when He came to earth, He became fully human as well. Because He is both God and man, He can be in heaven seated at the right hand of the Father and also dwells within each Christian through the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Jesus is rightly called Immanuel, “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
He took on flesh to live with us, die for us and be raised from the dead.
His presence, power and authority are not merely confined to upper rooms, open fields or sandy seasides. Jesus is in every home, workplace and recreational space as He accompanies His faithful followers into all spheres of life. If you have trusted Jesus to forgive your sins and chosen to follow Him, He promises to be with you (Ephesians 1:13-14).
As a follower of Jesus, you can have confidence through His resurrection that your sins are forgiven. Everything Jesus promised in His teachings you can trust to be true. You are a child of God, and you will live forever with Him.
As you continually entrust your life to Jesus and follow Him, your life on earth will be transformed. Jesus promised that the result of a close relationship with Him is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23, New Living Translation). These traits that He exhibits through you enable you to be an inviting and effective ambassador of His wherever you go.
Jesus has been raised from the dead, and He is with you always (Matthew 28:20)!
Reflect and Respond
Read 1 Corinthians 15:14-20.
Jesus, thank You that You have conquered sin and death, that You have paid for my sins, and that because of You, my faith is not useless. Thank You that You have power over the grave and You are the forever-reigning King of kings. Thank You that Your resurrection has provided the way for me to have new life now and for eternity. I rejoice in Your amazing grace, which promises that You are with me and will never leave me. Jesus, make me into the person You want me to be, and give me the faith to trust You. Show me how I can experience a life closer to You.
