Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The Lord Jesus came from Heaven to the Earth to show us the way to life eternal; from the Earth He went to the Cross to pay our debt ; and from Cross he went to the grave; on the third day, he ascended to the sky to meet the Father. Forever, he lives to make intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25B
Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a song whose chorus says,
“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
Because he lives, we are forgiven and we have the hope of eternal life. We have crossed over from darkness to light and we have been translated from the death to everlasting life. Because he lives, our names are written in the Book of Life and we have escaped eternal damnation. Because he lives, our tomorrow is guaranteed by the seal of the Holy Spirit in us.
Because he lives, death has been vanquished and the host of hell defeated. Because Jesus lives, we are more than conquerors. Because he lives we have fellowship with the Father and we can always approach the Throne of Grace boldly.
Beloved, life is worth living because Jesus lives! Happy Easter!
Prayer Nugget: Lord Jesus, thank you for the sacrifice you made on my behalf. I can face tomorrow because you are alive, and neither sleeps nor slumber.
