Wednesday,
Think about the difference this event has made in your life. Would your life be any different if Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead? Where would you be if Christ had not been victorious?
Jesus is alive and the difference is experienced because of the Holy Spirit living in us. You might remember that Jesus told his disciples, “But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.” (John 16:7)
Yes, we needed a pure, sinless sacrifice, but we also needed for the Holy Spirit to come into our lives and fill us, and this wouldn’t have happened if Jesus had not died and was resurrected.
Jesus is alive, I’m forgiven and the gates of Heaven are opened wide.” It really doesn’t get any better than that.
“He is not here; he has risen”. Praise God for those words, praise God for his love.
Singing my Praises today!
