Title: Jesus Is Risen / Luke 24:1-6
Contents
The words spoken by angels from the tomb of Jesus Christ, who died and was buried, were words that gave new hope to all people in the world, saying, “Jesus is not here, but is risen.” When Jesus said, "He who believes in me, even if he dies, will live," when Jesus said, "I will die and rise again on the third day." The angel's news that he was buried and raised again on the third day made us realize that Jesus' words were not false, but that they gave us great hope. The most feared and insolvable problem of death has been solved, which is the greatest joy a person can have.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ not only means that we can live even if we die, but also leads to the resurrection faith in our lives, making all our lives new.
What is Resurrection Faith?
Resurrection faith is a life of hope. In other words, there is no despair.
Those who believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ can never despair under any circumstances. Because we believe that the dead can be raised, and we believe that any hopeless situation can be restored anew. Because there is nothing more desperate than death.
“There was an old man selling flowers in a village. The old man was poor. His clothes were shabby, and his face had deep wrinkles. But there was always a happy smile blooming all over his face. People called the old man 'Happy Grandma'. One day a man asked an old man. "See how good it is," said the old man with a characteristic bright smile. "I have one secret to happiness." The old man said: "What can be good at this age? Whenever I suffer, I think of Jesus. Jesus suffered to be crucified on Friday. But didn't he meet the dawn of the resurrection on the third day? Every time, I promise in my heart, ‘Let’s wait for three days.’ From then on, my life became much happier.”
This is the hope of resurrection. Resurrection faith. If you have faith in the resurrection of any kind of hardship, you can see hope. So don't be discouraged.
Christians suffer from the cross. But the cross of suffering is only a process for the glorious day of resurrection. A Christian never ends with a cross.
Dear saints and those of you reading this through cyberspace, Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He died on the cross for all our sins and rose again to eternal life. He told us. He said, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will live even if they die, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25-26).
Does anyone have any health problems? Believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and have the hope of good health. Your health will surely be restored. Does poverty shudder? Believe in Christ who died and rose again, and have the hope of wealth. You will surely get rich.
Are you currently experiencing any pain? Look to the risen Lord, and have the hope that suffering will be transformed into glory. After a while, your pain will come and go. Those who have faith in the resurrection will never give up on anything
Those who live by believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ do not have any complaints or resentment because of the pain they are experiencing now, but look forward to the glory that will be given in a while and give thanks and rejoice.
The resurrection of Christ is the resurrection of victory that overcomes all suffering, pain and suffering. It is a gift given to all who believe in him. "Jesus is risen" "Hallelujah"
