Scripture Text: 1 Corinthians 6:14
And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
1 Corinthians 6:14
Which of God’s miracles do you think is the most impressive?
What is your favorite part of the Passion of the Christ?
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross to save us. This is the sad part of the story. But the entire basis of our faith—the reason for our hope and the joy of our salvation—lies in this: the Lord Jesus Christ did not stay buried. HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD!
No matter what we are dealing with in this life, we are still dealing with the same God. The God who created the entire universe, the whole creation. He who created DNA and every human’s soul, is the same God who raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. He has the power to bring the dead to life! He has the power to save us and He will!
Alas! Take heart, just as He raised the Lord Jesus, He will raise us, giving us new life.
No matter what circumstance or struggle is bringing you down, you can hope in the fact that God will bring you back from the dead, and you will live forever with the Lord Jesus Christ in peace, love, and glory!
Reflect
Where is your hope anchored in?
Where do you get your sense of security?
What is the source of your greatest comfort and joy?
Remember
If one truly believes in the power of God and submits in the Lordship of Jesus Christ in his or her life, there is a guaranteed promise of resurrection and a future eternal nature of the believer’s body and that should affect his or her present behavior.

Dear God, thank You for showing us Your resurrection power. When we are discouraged, please remind us of this power and give us hope. In Jesus' Name, amen.
