HE IS ALIVE!
This Proclamation has thundered a message of hope across the centuries. He is risen as He said He would!
Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. (John 2:19)
He is faithful to His Word. In all things, Jesus can be trusted to keep His Word. He said He came that we might have life and that we might have life more abundantly. For your life and for my life, Jesus has regard for it’s preservation, protection, perpetuity, provisions, punishment, and ultimately His perfection in glory. Because He lives, we can have life in it’s fullest measure. As the people of God, we have resurrection power. We can (and we should) experience His resurrection power in every facet of our lives. That power will keep us and delivery us out of life’s difficult circumstances. If it is a dying relationship, He is able to resurrect it. Be it husband and wife, parents and children, neighbor and neighbor, most of all, man and his God, fractured relationships are not the will of our heavenly Father. It does not matter how foreboding we might feel, we have His resurrection power in us. Let Him live in your relationships. He is alive and we enjoy His protection. I know what the Chronicle and Time Magazine has to say about terrorist and terrorism, but I choose to let the Word come alive in my spirit. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. (Psalm 34:7)
Dear ones, Easter is Christ raised from the dead for our justification. Easter is, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Easter is, God has made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Easter is, because He is alive, salvation is provided for “whosoever,” that’s you and that’s me folks.
HAPPY EASTER.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
