Why does it matter to you--right now--that Jesus rose from the dead?
Christians understand that Jesus's sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection grant eternal life to those who receive Him. But what we sometimes miss are the here-and-now personal benefits of the fact that He rose from the dead.
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made divine joy, peace, purpose, and power possible. Because He lives. . .
- You don't have to fear death
- You have an advocate
- You can stand up for what is right
- You have a faith family
- You have the Holy Spirit
- You can forgive
- You can know the will of God
- And so much more!
This Lenten season, read these 40 devotions for Easter and rejoice: the effects of the resurrection of Christ don't only exist in the past; they are the vehicle for God's gifts to flow into your present and future--all the way into eternity.
