Jesus: A Life-Giving Spirit
The first man Adam became a living being.
The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Jesus is a Life-Giving Spirit because He was victorious over death and the grave; He now has power to give life to everyone who believes in Him. Jesus submitted to the death of a cross and allowed them to bury Him in a tomb. On the third day, He overcame the power of the grave and arose victoriously. Because Jesus lives, now He can give life to His followers. You have received this life from Jesus; will you let it flow through you today?
Jesus, I believe in You. When You died, my sin died with You. When You were buried, I was identified with You in the grave. When You arose from the dead, I was in You, so now I have access to resurrection power. Give me power to serve You.
Because Jesus is a Life-Giving Spirit, you now have life—eternal life. You’ll never die. And your new life is victorious life; you can overcome temptation and sin. You can have an enlightened life; you can know the will of God and understand spiritual things. You can have a ministering life; Jesus can use your spiritual gifts to minister to others. Will you let Jesus live through you? Will you let His life flow through you?
Jesus, I want to live this day in the power of Your life. I want a victorious life over temptation, an enlightened life to experience Your leadership in my life and a ministering life to serve You. Amen.
