Easter
(Part 2)
Today is
Good Friday, the day we commemorate the Lord Jesus, who was despised,
beaten, crucified on the cross, was dead and buried. All is for whom?
All is for the sins of all mankind, including yours and mine. However,
unlike other religious leaders who died and are still in their tombs,
the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, humbled Himself to become a Man, died
for our sins and the third day He rose again and was seen of His
disciples, and of above five hundred brethren at once, and of the
apostle Paul (1 Cor 15:3-8).
The
resurrection of the Lord Jesus is the important foundation of our faith
and our salvation. A dead person cannot save or help anyone as he cannot
see, hear, know, move, or have any power. The Scripture says, “If
Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also
vain… ye are yet in your sins…are perished” (1 Cor 15:14, 17-18).
Truly, if the Lord Jesus Christ had not risen, it is vain and a waste of
time for you and me to trust in Him, pray to Him and worship Him as He
could not hear, know, help or save!
Thanks be
to God because the Lord Jesus really rose again and overcame death. He
is really living and He sees you, knows you, loves you, hears your
prayers, and has power to save you and me perfectly, “Wherefore he is
able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Heb 7:25).
The
resurrection of the Lord Jesus secures the new life He gives to those
who believe in Him, a victorious life over their sinful nature and
temptations of this world as well as secures their resurrection. The
Lord Jesus’ resurrection also secures His sure return (Acts 1:11; 1 Cor
15:22, 34, 51, 57). The Lord Jesus Christ is the Risen Saviour. Have you
believed in Him and worship Him?
