EASTER is the time when we remember our Saviour’s resurrection which makes our own resurrection sure.
“JESUS answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” John 2:19
Jesus knew He was going to die in Jerusalem, but He also knew he was going to be raised from the dead. He knew the Messianic Psalms were about Him:
“For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.” Psalm 16:10 (Prophesy is proof the Bible is God’s Word)
Jesus knew nothing could separate Him from the Father’s love and we have been given the same promise in Romans 8: 38-39. And we have been given the same promise of resurrection Jesus was given.
” Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection from the dead? But if there is no resurrection from the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also vain ……………………….. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.” But now Christ is risen from the dead and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15: 12 -20
“For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will arise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-16
Paul says to comfort one another with these words and so we should, what a wonderful God we serve.
