At the Easter #015-Raised to life for our justification

Romans 4:25

The Resurrection of Christ our King makes us joyful because it brings us justification. It's one thing that we longed for. Without it, we would have no hope of eternity. But glory be to the Most High who gave himself to die and became the bases through which we could be declared as right with God.

Brethren, Vctory over sin and death is demonstrated in his resurrection, offering us the bases to stand justified. Again, Jesus' resurrection validates and confirms his sacrificial work on the cross, which makes it possible for believers to be declared justified and, for that matter, righteous. Hallelujah to our risen Saviour!!!

At the Easter #014-Let not your heart be troubled

Matt 27:57-60, 1Cor 15:17, 1Pet 1:3-4

As we reflect on the death of Jesus, we can imagine the grief and confusion of the disciples. Somehow, they felt their hopes seemingly dashed. However, they prayed for comfort in such times, hoping that our God, though he is dead he will rise again.

If Jesus had not risen from the dead, we would have been the most hopeless beings. But glory be to God, because of his resurrection we who believe in him are declared by the Spirit as the most hopeful beings ever existed.

Brethren, there is hope for us at the Easter. Whatever that looks bleak and dead in our lives, because of the resurrection, we will experience life and light at the end of it all. Shalom!

The Road to Easter #013-Drawing closer to Jesus through the Last Supper

Luke 22:19-20

"And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'"

The Last Supper, where Jesus shared his final meal with his disciples, holds deep significance for us as believers. It was a moment of communion and fellowship, where Jesus imparted important lessons to his disciples as he left us with a powerful symbol of his sacrifice and love.

Brethren, in this simple act of breaking bread and sharing of wine, Jesus would establish the sacrament of Holy Communion, inviting us to partake in his body and blood as a way to remember and draw closer to him.

 It is a time of remembrance, as we recall the great sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for our sins and a time of communion, as we share in his divine presence
