He Is Not Here, He Has Risen

By Rusty Wilson

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

‭‭‬‬

-  Luke‬ ‭24:5-7‬ ‭‬‬

On that glorious day when Jesus our Lord and Savior was raised from the dead. Just like He said He would be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified. He died a painful death paying the ultimate price only He could pay with His blood. Then on the third day the power of Almighty God raised Jesus, His only begotten Son from the dead and now He is sitting on the right hand of the throne of God our Heavenly Father. Jesus paid the ultimate price for you and for me.

That same resurrection power, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you and me (Romans 8:11). That is Exciting news, the kind of news that is true that you won't see in the local paper. The only news that only can be found in the Word of God and the truth that we can believe in and is in us.

The resurrection power of the Lord Jesus is in us and worketh in us. His Spirit quickens, makes alive our mortal body. We don't need to look in an empty tomb to find the power of God, it is in us. We should depend on the Spirit of God to quicken us and to strengthen us. To guide and direct us to others to share with them the very same power that we have, they can have also with the decision to believe in the finished work of the cross. The work that Jesus finished so we could choose life and have life and live it to the fullest. Jesus lives. He died and rose from the dead so we could have life and have life more abundantly (John 3:16).
