My Sisters and Brothers,
The phrase "resurrection power" has become so common to our hearing whenever we approach "Resurrection Day." We readily believe that our God raised Christ Jesus from the dead by His Spirit--the Holy Ghost. We live by that truth; our conversation hinges upon that truth because its basic and foundational. It's absolute and we dare not think otherwise--there was a resurrection by the power of God!
But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you and me, should we live by the reality and power of this truth also? Do we believe that "resurrection power" resides in us? Should we experience the effect of HIS power just as Jesus did? Does our conversation express our full persuasion that the same "resurrection power" lives in us?
These questions "ought not be", and our Lord is addressing, even removing, them by the working and washing of the WORD of HIS POWER. The WORD of HIS POWER is delivered to us each time we gather--hear (give your ear)! The WORD of HIS POWER is uprooting the doubt and planting again with the truth. Hear HIM today!!!
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!
Love in Christ Jesus,
