Happy Resurrection Sunday!
There is great power in Jesus, but we must understand today, Resurrection Sunday.
We read in St. John’s Gospel,
They (Peter and John) did not yet understand the Scripture that He had to rise from the dead.
John 20:9
The understanding of the Resurrection’s significance in our lives is essential in order to tap into the power of the Resurrection in our lives. Jesus did not rise and disappear! He stayed with His Disciples for 40 days! They had to be taught! The event of the Resurrection is the central point in in history! No one has ever been nailed to the cross with witnesses that could testify to seeing a person die and be buried and on the third day rise from the tomb!
After 40 days of instruction, in ten days immediately following Ascension Thursday, when Jesus ascended to the right hand of Father God, God sent the Holy Ghost to finish the instruction! Christianity is the product of this instruction!
And we are not finished yet!
Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day, is not over! We have 50 days to be instructed by the Word, our spiritual reading and our meditation!
We need this time because if we can understand the Resurrection, we know that nothing can destroy us!
In the final analysis, LOVE WINS!
