The GAME-CHANGER!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ufeff\ufeff<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1 Corinthians 15 : 55 \u2013 57)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Jesus\u2019 Resurrection, death was the end\u2026 it was the final curtain call\u2026 nothing beyond! All we could do was mourn like those who have no hope. But after Jesus\u2019 Resurrection, when someone dies, we mourn for awhile because we have lost a loved one. But we mourn as people who have great hope because Jesus Christ is alive, and His promise is that if He is alive, then we, too, can live forever! Jesus\u2019 Resurrection changes the concept of death itself. Before, death was the end\u2026 now, it is the beginning!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Resurrection of Jesus puts everything into correct view. We now see the claims of Christ about Himself in the light of His Resurrection – <\/em><\/strong>He IS who He says He is!<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong> We now see His Teachings, Commandments and Promises in the light of His Resurrection – <\/em><\/strong>our response is Obedience and Faith!<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em> We now see our deepest sin and biggest problems in the light of His Resurrection – <\/em><\/strong>there is HOPE for forgiveness and with Him, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I write this, I find myself humming the song whose lyrics go like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause He lives, I can face tomorrow,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because He lives all fear is gone,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I know He holds the future,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And life is worth living, just because He lives!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RESURRECTION of Christ<\/em> is the ultimate GAME-CHANGER!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Easter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
