JESUS IS ALIVE!

Luke 24:1–7 (NKJV)

24 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”

My Redeemer lives!
 
These women heard Jesus say that He would rise on the third day but did not act on it. They were marching up to the tomb with their spices they had prepared. So either way it went right over their head what He told them before or they didn’t believe it. 
 
And that can be the same with many believers today. They continue living the same old way as they did before. These women needed to be reminded of His promise that He would rise again. They had a supernatural encounter with angels to help revive their memory.
The fact that Jesus is alive is supposed to have a  full impact on your thinking and action in your whole life, and not just your eternal destiny. It is for here and now.  
Through his death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ is victorious over sin, death, and the devil. That means that you are more than a conqueror as you walk as a new creation. You can overcome all the problems of life and be set free to live a meaningful life that pleases Him. Because the same power that raised Jesus from death lives in you.
 
Pray with me…
 
Lord Jesus, you are alive and the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I thank you for your promises that you will always remain with me, that you sustain and care for me. You are my defender, and the one that will always intercede to God the Father on my behalf. When everything is uncertain in life I trust in you because you have overcome everything.
