The resurrection is so vital to understand and believe in our walk with Christ. Yet we rarely realize how much the resurrection means to us on a day to day basis. Without the resurrection we would be dead in sin. If Christ can't conquer sin...then what can? Think of the power and strength Jesus needed to have to carry the weight of an eternity of sin and punishment within three days. He has to be God in order to do this. Because of this power we are able to to be resurrected in our own bodies and become whole in our inner man. We are able to become one with Jesus Christ at the end of the age and spend eternity with him. We are adopted in to the kingdom of God as sons and daughters, and we share in the inheritance of Jesus Christ. Not only this, but be cause of the resurrection we are able to heal, cast out demons, prophecy, and use the gifts of the Spirit by the Holy Spirit which is a testimony of Jesus blood being spilled and His resurrection. The resurrection gives us the hope of our calling as it says in Ephesians 1:17-19 and gives us a glorious inheritance.
All this to say, the resurrection of Jesus means everything to me. My life would be completely different if Jesus had not raised from the dead. I would be on my way to complete separation from the One that my heart loves most. Praise the Lamb who was slain and was raised form the dead in three days so I can be with Him.
