Resurrection Day

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central event of the Christian faith and the greatest event in the annals of human history.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ rightfully changes everything about being human on this planet—the way we approach daily living, the way we handle loss and grief, the way we process data, etc. Nothing in human experience escapes the light which emanates from the empty tomb.

It is the reason that we worship on Sunday, “the Lord’s Day,” as Paul referred to it. Jesus rose on the first day of the week. The Sabbath, or day of rest, has been replaced in our minds by the day of celebration, the day when death was forever defeated.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ changes the way we deal with difficulty and loss including hurricane damage and recovery work. We know for sure that nothing is impossible with God. We know that God can raise new life from the ashes, that a grave is no obstacle for him. We know that we are more than conquerors through him who loves us.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ puts a string in our step and hope in our heart every day. We are enjoying now the eternal life that Jesus gives us, life that never quits or fades. This is the quality of life that abides within every believer in Christ. We share one life with Christ—his life, eternal, invincible, victorious.

Have a great Resurrection Day, now and forever!

David
