One of the most important phrases ever to enter the ear-gate of man is;
"HE IS
RISEN"!
Because
of the resurrection, power replaces weakness, joy replaces sorrow, hope pushes
past despair, courage overrides fear, love conquers hate, freedom breaks
bondage, clarity replaces confusion, forgiveness eradicates condemnation,
understanding replaces judgement, giving replaces greed, kindness replaces
meanness, relationship replaces religion, and life conquers death,
not...not...not just on resurrection day or on Sundays or
event-drive-conferences but, for living life daily.
Sunday-meeting-goers
celebrate the resurrection of Christ for what happened immediately preceding and
what happened on resurrection day. This may be due to them not experiencing the
reality of resurrection life in their daily living of life. However, without
experiencing what the resurrection means for us in the present, we fall far
short of the full meaning of His resurrection! The resurrection solidifies the
hope, the redemption, the salvation, the peace and the eternity of people who
are willing to put their trust in the resurrected Christ.
Living the
resurrected life of the resurrected Christ is living the message of love and
grace!
The best way to convince doubters of resurrection reality is to
live resurrection life in daily living and stop relegating it to
Sunday-event-driven-meetings.
Resurrection power is for life living, and
life living is not lived in buildings called churches nor controlled by people
called preachers nor orchestrated by the hierarchy of denominations, as life in
the denominated church building is!
