He is risen!

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay” Matthew 28:6, NKJV.

Jesus had been telling His disciples what He came for. He had come to give His life as a sacrifice for our sins. Yet, Jesus said to them that wouldn’t be all that would happen. He would tell them again and again, in different ways, that He would overcome death and the grave and would be raised to life. Now, the angel says He is risen, just like He said.

Jesus didn’t come only to wipe away your sin. He came to make you alive. He came to give you eternal life and make you new. He came to make the life of God, the purposes of God, the plan of God for you to rise!

When He rose, you rose too. When He rose with all power in His hands, you have risen with power in yours. You have been raised to be the man God created you to be. Yes, it is amazing, beyond your comprehension, with everything you’ve been through, but you stand now in Christ, full of His Spirit and joy, and you are alive! Whatever He said will rise in your life, it will. It will be just like He said.

Prayer: Father, thank you that Jesus is alive! Jesus I give you honor and glory. You rose just like you said. You have blessed me and have done what you said you would do in my life. Things are rising that appear like they can’t. What an awesome God you are! Thank you, Jesus, for your resurrection and mine! You made me alive! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
