The Empty Grave...

The resurrection is the insurrection of all fear.

"and what is the exceeding greatness of His power
toward us who believe, 
according to the working of His mighty power
which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead
and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,"
Ephesians 1:19-20

Whenever fear, anxiety, or worry arise in your heart and mind, Lord Jesus’ resurrection is your weapon in hand. The same Holy Spirit that raised Him from the dead:

Lives. In. You.

If you have received Christ’s atoning sacrifice for your sins by faith, you are His child. Nope, I know. You and I are so far from perfect that it isn’t funny. Still, His shed bled, that we will remember this Good Friday, was enough. It is still enough.

And now, the Third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit, lives in you. And when fear comes calling, you have Holy Spirit help in the Name of Jesus, to reject it. You may stumble and fall a few times at first, but keeping standing in the truth of His Word. His resurrection power is all you need and you already have it.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
2 Timothy 1:7

What More Can Be Said...

We are in the midst of Holy Week…

As we read the Gospel of John from chapters 12 to 18, we find Jesus’ parting words to His followers as He heads to the unimaginable cross…He speaks volumes to us, His children…

Though as always, actions speak louder than words….(read this slowwwly)…

Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, 
And that He had come from God 
And was going to God,
Rose from supper and laid aside His garments, 
Took a towel and girded Himself.
After that, He poured water into a basin and 
Began to wash the disciples' feet,
And to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
John 13:3-5

What more can be said?

The King of Universe
Stooped to wash filthy, worldly feet
The Pure…cleansing the unclean
The Master…showing us a servant’s heart
His robes of righteousness for our rags of sin
His stripes…for our healing
The Perfect Lamb slain…for our offenses
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah…who lives to give us life.

Thank you Lord Jesus for all that You have done.
