“Power in the Resurrection”
As we look towards the resurrection
of Jesus Christ, I can’t help but ask
the question, “What does the
Resurrection of Christ mean today?”
Years ago, wherever Jesus was, he
drew crowds of all kinds of people from multiple
walks of life. Many wondered what was it that
caused the crowds to draw to him. Was it his deep
knowledge of the Prophets, his ability to
provide healing to those who were sick, his strength
to fight against the authorities or maybe his
attentiveness to those who were isolated and
ostracized.
Honestly, I believe it had to be a combination of all
these and others reasons we must never fail to
consider. Such as, an encounter with Jesus was
always life changing, Jesus represented hope for a
future many struggled daily to see, and last but not
least, Jesus represented Gods unadulterated love for
the world in flesh.
Jesus’ death was an attempt to extinguish this fire,
passion and hope ignited within the lives of his
Disciples. For 3 days Jesus’ Disciples lived in fear
and anxiety, insecure of what the future would bring.
When Jesus arose, things did not automatically shift
for the Disciples, however the news of Jesus’
resurrection restored their hope, joy and anticipation
for the future. Jesus’ resurrection empowered the
Disciples to move forward in the face of consistent
persecution.
Many things have changed between now and then,
yet today the fear, anxiety, and insecurity about the
future remains at an all time high. Which raises the
question, “What does the Resurrection of Christ
mean today?” Has the Resurrection lost its power?
Absolutely not! Maybe the Disciples have changed.
Maybe we’ve stopped telling the world the greatest
story of hope; the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pastor D. Marie
John 12:32-33 states, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”
