On this Easter Sunday we celebrate Jesus Christ. Let us join together in prayer that the message of the resurrection would resonate in and through all of God’s people, and be heard to the very ends of the earth.
The words of Peter provide a powerful declaration of this event.
1 Peter 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Blessed be the Lord!
By His mercy – because He loves us, and He keeps on loving us!
A living hope – for He’s not dead, but He is alive!
The Resurrection from the Dead – He triumphed over principalities and powers, the grave could not keep Him down, and hell could not hold Him captive!
An incorruptible and undefiled inheritance – this is what has been provided for us through the resurrection of Christ!
Kept by the power of God – His power that works mightily in us!
