There is no point claiming to be born again or of God if there was no resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. If there was no resurrection then we are still in our sins, and our faith would be a delusion or a fantasy, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:17). But there was a resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ who was raised by God and He is alive forevermore.
It is on the resurrection of Jesus that we are certain and assured that we have been redeemed from the bondage of sin and eternal death. It is because He resurrected we know that there is a new life, because His resurrection is the new life life new beginning. It is because of His resurrection that we know that the new life He brought through His resurrection is of life and not of death, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:45).
The angels in Luke 24:5 said, "Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?" What this means is that Jesus had conquered the grave, it means Jesus had conquered death, and had placed death under His feet.
For Jesus to have placed death under His feet implies everything related to death has been put under His feet, things like sickness, diseases, depression, infirmities, poverty, viruses and more have all been placed undeunthe feet of Jesus. And if you are in Christ, you share in that authority of Jesus. So, what would be said of you would be, why do you seek the healthy among the sick; why do you seek wealth among poverty; why do you seek Sons among slaves. This is because in Christ you are the healthy, the wealthy, the Son, the blessed, the light, the salt, the solution, these are who you have become because of Christ's resurrection, and because these are all what Christ is right now.
The resurrection Sunday reminds me of the love Jesus has shown to the entire world, and the brand new life with its characteristics that comes with the full package of having the fullness of Christ living inside of you. So, why do look for the living among the dead? You are the living because Jesus is alive and your life, praise God forevermore!
HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
