JESUS: The Resurrection and the Life - Pastora Susan Evangelista Life in Christ Christian Ministries

- Christianity
On this Easter Sunday, Pastora Susan Evangelista powerfully proclaims the significance of Jesus' resurrection from John 11:25-26 - "I am the resurrection and the life." This foundational truth has profound implications for believers:
The Resurrection Guarantees Our Salvation (Matthew 28:1-8) Through Christ's victory over death, we are assured of eternal life. While unbelievers face the second death, believers experience true, resurrected life.
The Resurrection Validates Our Faith (John 20:19-29) Like Thomas, we can have confidence that Jesus is the risen Lord, the object of our faith.
The Resurrection Ensures Our Hope (John 21, 2 Timothy 2:13) No matter our failures or circumstances, the resurrection gives us lasting hope to face tomorrow, for one day we will see Jesus face to face (1 John 3:2).
Yet, as 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 reminds us, we are fragile jars of clay carrying this magnificent treasure - the resurrection power of Christ. Though hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, we are never crushed, in despair, abandoned or destroyed.
Why? Because the all-surpassing power at work within us is from God Himself through the resurrection life of Jesus Christ! On this Easter, let us embrace afresh the power and implications of Christ's resurrection for our salvation, faith, and hope.
Don't give up! Christ is risen, and the life that is in Him is an unquenchable, resurrection life available to all believers.
