As Easter has come and gone for this year as far as the calendar is concerned, let’s remember what the result of the actual historical event has been done for us.
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but what exactly does this mean for us, for me, today?
Here is a list of 20 results of Jesus’ resurrection, what it has established, and has bearing on us today:
The proof of the divinity of Jesus Christ
The proof of the validity of the scriptures
The hope of the prophets of old
The assurance of our own resurrection
The beginning of a new creation
The exaltation of Jesus Christ
The total defeat of Satan
The defeat of the uncertainty, and fear in death
The proof of the sovereignty of Jesus Christ
The achievement of our salvation
The coming of the Holy Spirit
The power behind the Great Commission
The Priesthood of Believers
The intercession of Christ before the throne of God
The adoption of believer as co-heirs with Christ
The abiding presence of God
The fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrifice
The assurance of a new heaven and a new earth
The assurance of His second coming
His reign as King of kings and Lord of lords!
Spend the next few minutes meditating on what privileges are yours because of what Christ has done for you.
