Day 20!

This chapter is possibly the most important chapter of our faith.  This chapter makes all the difference between Jesus and the rest of the world’s religions.  Not just the fact that Jesus died for our sins, because many good men have died for those they loved, but the fact that Jesus rose from the grave!  This is so exciting and so important to grasp a hold of because this proves that He is God.  He has power over sin and death.  That he is all powerful.  That He keeps his word.  If he had not risen from the grave he would have been like everyone else.  But he rose and now lives in our hearts.  This is why we use the cross as a symbol of our faith.  Yes it is an object of severe suffering and pain but it is also the place where each one of us is offered new life through Him because he died in our place and rose again.  He is no longer on the cross but alive in real time in our hearts! Tomorrow as we gather together to worship, let’s worship Him in this greatness.  As we sing out our praise to Him together, let’s keep in mind His power and the life that He has within Him, He offers it us!  So I invite you to join us tomorrow with joy in your heart as praise the God who is alive!
