“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26
The Holy Spirit told me this morning that Jesus is translucent. He is a powerful light and makes blurry things perfectly clear. He brings transparency and clarity to a mere mortal enabling him to see Jesus is the real deal.
Easter is about a new life. Without Easter there is no reason to reach out to Jesus. He would just be a dead figure in history.
The defining nature of Jesus is He died and was resurrected to live with God forever.
Easter is an invitation to get to know the Living Christ and live with Him forever.
Jesus is alive. He is not a myth. Jesus is very accessible.
Jesus promises the gift of salvation to all humanity. This gift is free and can never be earned.
Salvation is not about time. It is living in a personal relationship with the reality of the Living Christ. He becomes very present and powerful in your life.
Jesus is Holy and without sin. He wants nothing to do with your natural life at birth which desires to live for self and defy God.
Salvation is becoming a new creature in Christ. Jesus forgives all your sins with His blood and transforms a believer into the character and purity of Jesus.
Easter is submitting to the authority of the Holy Spirit who is life of Jesus and sealed in a believer.
Jesus speaks consistently to a believer and provides omniscient wisdom to guide his footsteps.
Jesus shares His powerful attributes which come from Heaven. He fills believers with strength, wisdom, joy and protection.
Jesus brings His order and simplicity into life and takes away the frantic pace of the world.
The value of Easter is the promise of an abundant and eternal life with Jesus and His sworn commitment to deliver a believer from troubles and adversity.
Jesus has power and dominion over the heavens and earth and commands a powerful army of angels to protect a believer.
Jesus is personally invested in all your goals and wants to see you achieve success.
Jesus can give you a life you can never achieve on your own.
He is your only hope for the future!
