A Resurrected Life

Revelation 1:18 "I am he that liveth,and was dead; and,behold,I am alive for evermore,Amen; and I have the keys of hell and of death.
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever live and believeth in me shall never die. Before a person can experience the event of the resurrection unto life, he or she must experience the person who is the resurrection. How can you be apart of something you know nothing about, how can you believe in Him whom you haven't heard?

Without any conviction there can be no true conversion, you can't truly experience an resurrected life until you first realize you were dead in sin. As we partake in His death, we will walk in the newness of life. But to walk new, the old must die, and for the old to die, we must realize there was an old. I am crucified with Christ, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. We must die to self in order to live for Him. All things are of God. He is the beginning, He is the process, and he is the end. He is our beginning, he is our path, and he is our life. See it is all about Christ and him crucified, and we must really come to this knowledge, to become better Christians, more obedient servants, convincing witnesses, and a more accurate reflection of who Christ is. Who we are will no longer seem important, our time will be spent lifting up our Savior, and not elevating ourselves. We will seek all lost souls, spreading the good news of the gospel.

Let us take the time and let ourselves get caught up in the thought of being in Jesus' powerful presence. This is our resurrected Lord, and Savior. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
