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 its preservation, protection, perpetuity, provisions, punishment, and ultimately its perfection in glory. Because He lives, we can have life in its fullest measure.
As the people of God, we have resurrection power. We can (and should) experience His resurrection power in every facet of our lives. That power will keep us and deliver 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 life’s experiences are, 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, the pandemic, but I choose to let the word come alive in my spirit. “Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple” (Psalm 15:4).
Happy Resurrection Day!
Pastor J. Amos Jones
