Oh man how I love those words. Our Pastor at our old chuch used to say "He is Risen!!" and the congregation would reply "He is Risen Indeed!!". It was just a great affirmation of what was in our hearts, that Jesus Christ had indeed risen from the grave. He smiled at death...and knocked It out!! He broke free from the chains of sin and set us free!!! Isn't that just a great feeling? Death has no hold on me or any of the Believers, because we have accepted Christ's gift of salvation. We have been turned into sons and daughters of God!! Salvation is open to all, you, me, the guy next door, the murderer serving a life sentence, everybody!!
Why is this open to you? Because God cares, thats why. Do you think that we have no purpose in life but self-gratification? NO!! God has set within us a higher purpose, the purpose of God-glorification!! And He intends every person on earth to realize that purpose, which is why Jesus Christ died.
God loves each and every one of us so much, that He had His son die on a cross, a horrible, shameful death. But He Rose Again!! Not even death could bind Him. And he asks only for your dedication to Him, to love Him only and in return He will set you free!! Join me today in that Freedom!!
Pray to Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and ask to be set right with Him. Ask Him to take over your life and set you free!!
God give us the faith to do what we must,
And the determination to see it through,
Though we see that we return to dust,
Let us remember that only You are true!!
