Resurrection: He is Risen

Resurrection: He is Risen by ric gustafson


Jesus is alive!. He was resurrected from the dead and lives in heaven. Because he is risen, we can have confidence for two reasons.
The first is that our sins are forgiven. Matthew 20:28 says that Jesus came into this world to give his life as a ransom for many. Because of his sacrifice and death on a cross, our debt our sins have been paid in full. Because Jesus has risen, we are a forgiven people.
Second, Jesus is involved in our lives. Jesus promises that if we abide in him and do his will, we will bear fruit for his kingdom. He promises spiritual blessings and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Jesus promises that he will listen to our prayers and if it is in accordance with God's will we will receive what we ask for according to I John 5:14-15.
Lastly, Jesus promises that he will prepare a place in heaven for us and will return one day to take us there to be with him there. That is an Easter promise we can wait eagerly for.
