Living in Resurrection Power
By Paul Blackham
If we want to know the power of Jesus’ resurrection, then we must first meet Him at the cross. The power of His resurrection came only after Jesus had experienced the suffering, rejection and death of the cross.
That is the path that He walked, and we find ourselves close to Him when we walk that same path: from the cross to the empty tomb; from repentance and rejection to resurrection.
Knowing the fellowship of Christ as we share a measure of His sufferings can be great joy, even in the deepest pain. All of our sufferings are changed by the light and power of His resurrection—they don’t magically disappear, they become opportunities to draw near to Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Jesus, thank You for Your death on the cross and for rising from the grave. Because of Your suffering and resurrection, we can live in victory—for all eternity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
