No, that’s not the name of a heavy metal band, that’s the goal of the cross…the total obliteration of death and its effects on mankind. The blood of Jesus takes us from dark to light…from death to life.
The mission of Jesus and our appropriate response is less about right and wrong and more about life and death. We believe unto life…eternal life. There is no humanly way possible to escape the destruction of sin, which is death…so God dealt the final blow in Jesus. Of course we await the time when the last enemy, death, is put under the feet of his body but regarding our spiritual life, death has lost it’s sting.
Take a moment and commune with Jesus, remember his body and blood and allow his spirit to manifest his life through you.

Several years ago the Holy Spirit began to lead me to train myself to respond in faith in each situation I encounter in life. Now, am I claiming that I respond perfectly in faith all the time – no. But this reality show I began to live in at that time was and still is […]

The pain of rejection is probably one of the worst kinds of pain. We’ve all experienced it – a nagging pain that makes you feel like you’ve been punched right in the stomach. But I have good news. Jesus understands! Look at this: Isaiah 53:3a says, He was despised and rejected by men, A Man […]

The resurrection of Jesus multi-faceted but there are two main points I want to focus on in this article. The atonement aspect of his sacrifice and God’s testimony in Jesus of his will for us.
The obvious take away that we must personalize about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is the exchange of our sin for his righteousness, the trading of our sickness and disease for his healing, our shame for his acceptance and our death for his life.
But Jesus is also God’s testimony to mankind of what he wants for us. God did in Jesus what he wants for all of humanity. He set him free from death, he gave him eternal life after the resurrection, he gave him a place next to his own seat of authority in his eternal kingdom…and the list goes on. These are all things God wants for you.
God did not give us the example of Jesus for us to live up to, he gave us him as an example of what he wants to do in our lives. God knows we can’t be good enough, holy enough, righteous enough, heal ourselves, provide eternal life for ourselves…so he gave us those things in Jesus. The fact that God put all of humanity’s sin on Jesus and Jesus died with that in himself then God set him free from death because Jesus remained faithful to God and his promises is the evidence that God wants those things for us.
Take some time to look at the resurrection and all that Jesus endured as a promise to you of what God wants for you.
And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33
