"I am the resurrection and the life.
though he may die, he shall live."
Jesus is your Resurrection, which means that He gave new life to you when you were saved. You can know that Jesus gave this eternal life to you when He came out of the grave, because He said, “I am the resurrection.” Now you are raised in Jesus; you will live forever. Your old body may die at your death (if the Rapture doesn’t come first), but your soul goes to live with God. At the Rapture, your soul will be rejoined to your new glorious body. One day you’ll have a new body like Christ’s.
Lord of the resurrection, thank You for saving me. Thank You for the promise of raising me in the future.
When Jesus died, your sin died with Him. When Jesus arose from the dead, you were in Him, rising from the dead. Jesus is the Resurrection. Now you are in Him, and He is in you (John 14:20). You are seated in the heavenlies (Ephesians 2:6). So let your life on Earth reflect your new heavenly position. Because Jesus is the Resurrection, His life-giving power can indwell you and give you new desires to live a godly life. Because Jesus is the Resurrection, you can be strengthened in your inner person by His indwelling presence (Ephesians 3:16). Because of Jesus’ resurrection, He can give you spiritual victory today.
Lord, I marvel at Your resurrection and worship You for what you’ve done for me. I claim Your resurrection power to help me live for You this day. Help me overcome my problems and be victorious today. Amen.
You can be victorious because of Jesus’ resurrection.
