Risen: March 25, 2016

TODAY’S WORD FOR FRIDAY MARCH 25, 2016.
RISEN

DEFINITION:

Resurrected from the dead.
SCRIPTURE:

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. I Corinthians 15:20.


KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:

This next Sunday we will be celebrating Easter. It is a known fact that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day, Easter Sunday. And because of this we know that Jesus is alive today, He has resurrected from the dead, He is interceding with God on our behalf and because of His resurrection we can have confidence in knowing that our sins are forgiven. Through His death on the cross, the debt for our sins has been paid in full. Because of the shedding of His blood on the cross we are forgiven.

We are sure you noticed that we said the resurrection of Jesus is a fact. But, unfortunately, many people in the world we live in today do not believe that it is a fact. We can say it is a fact because first of all we believe that the Bible is the Word of God and God does not lie. No one has ever been able to prove that any portion of the Bible is fiction.

There were eye witnesses to the death and resurrection as recorded in the Bible. Also many scientists and the most learned people in the world have done all they can to discredit this fact and have failed. Just because someone says that they do not believe it happened does not mean they are right. There is more reason to believe than to not believe.

Because Jesus died and was resurrected we have confidence that our sins have been forgiven and that the Lord is actively involved in our lives if we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior. There are so many promises in the Bible (some 3,000) that gives us confidence that Jesus is involved in our lives. He promised that if we abide in Him and do His will we will bear much fruit. Jesus gives us confidence in the power of prayer because He has risen. And finally, because He has risen we have the confidence that Jesus is preparing a place in heaven for us to spend eternity with Him.

Be assured today that you serve a risen Savior and put your trust in Him today.

LEARNING:

Our memory verse for this week is found in Matthew 5:6.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
PRAYER:

Thank You for dying on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. Thank You that You now are my risen Savior and alive and interceding for me before my Heavenly Father. Help me to live for You with my full and steadfast allegiance and show it in my walk and talk each day.
