Happy Easter, my friends. The tomb is empty, for death could not hold our Savior captive. Hallelujah!
As we celebrate, I want us to reflect on the significance of this great day. Easter is the most important Christian celebration; more important than Christmas, Good Friday, and even Ascension. It is the very foundation of our faith.
Because our Lord conquered death:
We are saved and declared righteous before God when we believe in Jesus. Our slate is clean because His resurrection secured His justification of us before the Father. (Romans 4:25, Romans 10:9)
We can walk in newness of life, victorious over sin (Romans 6:4-11)
We have a living hope, not a dead one! (1 Peter 1:3). If Jesus never rose from the dead, He would have been just another great religious leader, and our faith in Him giving us life would be vain.
But see, He’s the life giver because He’s alive forever more. So, we have the hope of eternal life. (1 Corinthians 15)
We can trust God’s promises to get fulfilled at their appointed time because Christ’s Resurrection was the fulfillment of hundreds-years-old prophecy (Psalm 16:10, Acts 13:35)
How to Live EVERY DAY Like Easter
Christ’s resurrection may be commemorated in one day, but it’s relevance to everyday Christian living cannot be limited to a day. Easter is and should be an everyday Christian experience.
As new creations, we’re alive to God, to live in unbroken fellowship with Him. Let us therefore walk as the new people that we are in Christ by rejecting everything that doesn’t glorify God. Let us live in the resurrection reality every day.
Once again, Happy Easter!
