Jesus is alive

Yes Jesus is alive, he has risen, he is the reason for the season, they is power in the resurrection of Christ.

Happy Easter everyone.

*KEY VERSE:*

“Now when she has said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus” (John 20:14).

Mary, filled with sorrow was really disturbed because she actually did not find the body of Jesus in the tomb where it was laid. Jesus appeared to her, Himself but she did not know it was Jesus, perhaps because her eyes were filled with tears so she could not recognize Him.

In verse 16, Jesus revealed Himself to her by calling her by name. Amazing! Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene and sent her to inform the others of His resurrection and ascension – it was a message of joy indeed. One thing stands clear that Jesus’ promise of resurrection was fulfilled, but Mary could not recognize Him until Jesus declared it to her.

It is no surprise today that many believers are partakers of the grace of God through redemption but still doubt the power of God. They still consider the truth outlined in the scriptures as imaginary. See, such one also still works by the power and influence of earthly lust and darkness instead of walking in the light.

Jesus called her by name and then she recognized Him and responded. What are you still waiting for? You need to respond to the call of the Master – the Saviour of the world. He is alive though He laid down his life for you. He is calling you now, yield to His call. Go also and tell others the good news today.

*CONTROLLING THOUGHT:*

Jesus is alive – the grave could not hold Him. The power of death could not keep Him. He rose and Mary met with the risen Christ. He is alive. And He lives forever more. Amen and Amen.
