The Power of Christ’s Resurrection
From Rubbish to Redemption
In Philippians 3:7-11, the apostle Paul writes about the transformative power of knowing Christ. He counts all things as loss compared to the excellence of knowing Jesus, his Lord. This knowledge is not just intellectual; it’s a deep, personal connection that brings righteousness through faith in Christ.
The Cornerstone of Christianity
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our salvation. It’s the source of living water that flows through every aspect of our lives. Without it, our faith would crumble. But it’s not just about knowing the fact of the resurrection; it’s about experiencing the risen life that comes from fellowship with Him.
From Worldliness to New Life
Because Christ rose from the dead, we can leave the tomb of worldliness behind. We can experience the power of His resurrection in our daily lives. It’s not just about intellectual assent; it’s about spiritual eyes that see Jesus and a heart that converses with Him.
The Ultimate Satisfaction
Knowing a risen Savior who has given us new life is incomparable to knowing a crucified Savior who died for our sins. This knowledge is the key to ultimate satisfaction of our deepest longings. It’s not just about head knowledge; it’s about heart transformation.
A Personal Invitation
If you’re not sure if Christ is in your life, you can be sure right now. By faith, respond to Jesus’ invitation and open the door of your life to Him. Pray with sincerity: “Lord Jesus, I need You. I receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”
Rise to New Life
May you today know Him and the power of His resurrection. Rise, for the Lord is risen! Take a moment to reflect on where you see head knowledge of Jesus’ resurrection overlapping with your daily heart life.
