Topic: HE IS RISEN!
Biblical Text: ‘If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept’ . [1 Corinthians 15:19-20]
I am always excited to shout it, even on the mountain top that Jesus is risen! He is alive. Praise God! The essence of Christianity is the risen Christ. Apostle Paul said that if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is vain and our faith vain. The resurrection of Jesus on the third day is an indicator that if we believe in Jesus, we will resurrect too in like manner on the last day. Our lives are not miserable. The significance is that Christians do not die rather they are translated to a better life- everlasting life , a life of pleasure, joy and everlasting rest. The unbelieving Jews under the control of the devil rolled a big stone on top of the sepulcher of Jesus and also set a watch around the sepulcher to ensure that the prophecy that he had earlier given about His resurrection will not come to pass. But death could not hold him captive, He arose from the grave; He is risen, He is alive! If not for Jesus, we could have perished in our sins. His resurrection from the dead gave us victory over death and our sins, Halleluyah! Jesus is alive!
KNOW IT ∞ Death is swallowed up in victory, Christ is risen!
READ IT ∞ Matthew 27:63, Luke 24:7, Matthew 28:6
