HOLY WEEK DEVOTION SUNDAY
SUNDAY – JESUS, THE RESURRECTION
For those who have accepted Jesus’ sacrifice and fallen on that Rock and been broken by it, comes the good news of Jesus’ words in John chapter 11, verse 25. “Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again.”
As Jesus’ followers, we may have to experience death just like all of mankind, but we do not stay dead. Just like Jesus, we will be resurrected to an eternal life in Heaven with Jesus, our Savior and King. We will experience Jesus’ coronation and we will be made perfect in His image. Everything we have put our faith in will be sight. “That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9) Oh, how we look forward to that day!
However, one thing believers fail to realize is that you started living that life eternal the day you accepted Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins and began a new life with Christ. John 17:3 tells us this, “And this is the way to have eternal life–to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.” The way to have eternal life is to know God and His only Son, Jesus Christ. You receive that eternal life the moment you commit your life to Christ. You can experience what heaven is like right now, by having that relationship and fellowship with the Almighty God of the Universe. You don’t have to wait!
How can you experience God while here on this earth? You need to read His Word daily. Meditate on it. Allow it to become a part of you. Commit your life to Christ Jesus and live your life by FAITH in agreement with His Word, each moment, each day, all the time. It is in that relationship that you will experience love, joy, peace and grace.
“The one thing I ask of the LORD– the thing I seek most– is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD’s perfections and meditating in His Temple.” (Psalm 27:4)
Praying that you seek to live the resurrected life!
