Resurrection Power

But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 1 Corinthians 15:12-21 (NIV)

This Resurrection Weekend, my prayer for you is that you will indeed live as if He has been raised from the dead! That truth means that in Christ, we have also been raised from the dead! Feel that truth! Live that truth! Do not let fear, anxiety, bitterness, busyness, or anything else steal that from you! Don't miss out on all the glorious wonder Christ has for you!

He lives! He reigns! He is coming back! Live like you believe it!
