In last week’s post, I talked about the sunrise. Given the upcoming holiday, I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the most important event in history, the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
HE IS RISEN are among the most significant words that were ever spoken. They changed history forever. These words paved the way for our salvation and sealed the devil’s fate forever.
The resurrection and ascension completed Jesus’ work on earth and made salvation possible to whomever desires to receive it. The Bible says that when Jesus ascended into heaven, he sat down at the right hand of God. Biblically, sitting is an indication of rest following the completion of work. (like God rested on the 7th day in Genesis – the work was done). Jesus Christ’s work to accomplish our salvation and everything that it entails was finished, so he sat.
We can rejoice this Sunday (and every other day) because our Savior arose from the dead. He completed the work necessary for us to be born again with a more than abundant life now, and everlasting life to come. We’re going to heaven and all hell can’t stop us, because HE IS RISEN!
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
Happy Resurrection Sunday!!
Note to my readers: I am reminded of the song, Victory in Jesus, by Eugene M. Barlett
O victory in Jesus, my savior, forever,
He sought me and bought me with his redeeming blood:
He loved me ere I knew him, and all my love is due him.
He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood.
So beautiful! Thank you!
