If
Jesus’ resurrection did not include ours, it would not
profit us, long term, to serve Him. If this life ended
our relationship with Jesus, we would be without the
“Blessed Hope” that Paul spoke of, and we would be
facing a dismal future.
“If
in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all
men most miserable” (1 Corinthians 15:19).
Our
hope is in our own resurrection to eternal life with
Christ—because of His resurrection. Just as we were
crucified with Him as our sins were nailed to His cross,
we will be resurrected to be with Him eternally—because
of His own resurrection.
At
this Easter season, may we be reminded of what it means
to us as followers of the Lord. His appearance on earth
guaranteed our appearance in Heaven after this life is
over.
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord”
(1
Thessalonians 4:17).
Praise God for eternal salvation and life everlasting
through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Do
You Know Him? Does He Know You?
Have a Joyous Easter!
