Word of the Week - He is Risen!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Romans 8:11
For those of us who are followers of Jesus Christ (Christians), the death and Resurrection of Jesus over 2000 years ago is by far the most significant event in world history. By the way, Jesus death and Resurrection is a recorded historical event. Through His death on the cross Jesus bore the sin of all mankind (past, present and future) so we can be saved from the wrath of God through forgiveness of our sins and have eternal life with the Father. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. This is truly Good News for us to embrace and celebrate on this special Easter day remembering and celebrating this amazing event. By accepting and believing in Christ and what He did for us on the cross, we receive the full benefits of the Resurrection. As amazing as it is for us to receive the gift of communion with God for eternity, there is even more. Through the cross we have access to the same power that allowed Jesus to rise from the dead. God has empowered us as His disciples to walk out our faith with confidence and trust in Him, which is what activates this power in our day to day lives.In a world that lacks hope, this is the hope that we have that is truly an anchor for our souls. Jesus is hope and much, much more. "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;” John 11:25So let’s rejoice in the Good News that He is Risen!!!, and by faith step into the Resurrection Power of Christ Jesus as we live out our lives with true hope on our way to be with Him for eternity…..Have a blessed Easter…-Duane
