The resurrection is important for many good reasons. It teaches us that Jesus keeps his promises (to rise from the dead). It ensures that the ruler of God’s Kingdom is a living Christ, and not some hope or dream. It gives us the assurance that we will also be resurrected with Christ in the last days. It shows us that the power God used to raise Christ from the dead is the same power made available to us.
But in the end, the resurrection is what gives substance to, and fuels our witness to the world that God loves us so much, and desires an intimate relationship with each and every one of us.
Dear God, thank you for the resurrection, especially the power it gives us to do our part to further your Kingdom in Jesus’ name. Amen.
