LIVE IN RESURRECTION LIFE
I trust you enjoyed a wonderful Resurrection Sunday yesterday. Christ did not stay in the tomb. He is alive. And if we have received Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, He now lives His resurrected life in us and through us.
It is not a life of defeat and gloom and doom. It is not a life of negativity and complaining. It is not a life of despondency and despair. It is a life of victory. It is a life of “righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” And this means right now, no matter what is going on in your life, and no matter what we face in our nation.
You don’t have to live in the doldrums. Why live below par when you have the resurrected Christ living in you? Jesus Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father in the heavenly realm. And Ephesians 2:6 tells us that He has also “raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Therefore we live above our problems, not below them. We live by faith, not fear. We live with hope, not despair. We confess healing, not sickness. We are joyful in our tribulations.
Paul penned the truth: “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Because He lived these words he was imprisoned, tortured, persecuted, beaten, stoned, and suffered hunger. And yet what was his confession: “As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing, as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things” (2 Corinthians 6:10).
Are you facing financial hardship? I love the translation that says: “Penniless, we own the world.”
Live in resurrection power today,
