What Does The Resurrection Mean To Me?

What Does The Resurrection Mean To Me?

Without The Resurrection, there would not be The Christian Religion.
Without The Resurrection, the following of Jesus, if he was only a man in history, would not have continued over the past 2000 years. Jesus, in The New Testament, is the fulfillment of God’s promise in The Old Testament.
Without The Resurrection, I would not be a Christ Follower, a Christian. As a gentile, I most probably would not even be worshiping the one and only True God, The Creator, The Hebrew Father God. The Jewish people are still waiting for The Messiah to come.
Because of the gift of faith which I have been given, I know that Jesus is The Messiah and I am awaiting His return as promised in God’s Word. He is The One who was promised, was given, and will be coming again.

The Resurrection of Christ is the return of Jesus to bodily life following His physical death on the cross. His physical death is recorded in history. His Resurrection is recorded in the scriptures and in the accounts of those who witnessed it. These accounts have been passed down to us through the generations. It is supernatural and God supernaturally penetrates our spirits to believe. His Word is alive and I believe!

A Spiritual Resurrection occurs to an individual who becomes a Christian.
Paul writes to the believers in Ephesus as recorded in Ephesians 1: 18, 19. “I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance He has given to His people. I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of His power for us who believe in Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead…”

I wish for you God’s mighty power in your life as you celebrate The Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Enjoy the celebration and your families but spend some time reflecting on the question, “What does the Resurrection mean to me?”
