- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

The unique resurrection of Jesus (2)

21 APRIL 2019
‘Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life.’
John 11:25 KJV
Why is Christ’s resurrection unique? 
1) He’s the only one who didn’t die again. In Scripture all others who rose from the dead, died again. Jesus was the glorious exception. Consequently, ‘He was made a priest…through the power of a life which has no end’ (Hebrews 7:16 GNT). His testimony stands: ‘I was dead…I am alive for ever’ (Revelation 1:18 NIV 2011 Edition). 
2) He alone ascended into heaven to represent us before God. Other priests died and ceased to serve. But Jesus was ‘declared…a priest forever’ (Hebrews 7:17 NIV 2011 Edition). And He’s not sitting around awaiting the second coming; He’s representing us before God. ‘He entered heaven itself…to appear for us in God’s presence’ (Hebrews 9:24 NIV 2011 Edition). That means no accusation against us can stand. ‘Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died…is at the right hand of God…interceding for us’ (Romans 8:34 NIV 1984 Edition). 
3) He has the power to resurrect you when you die. Jesus comforted His disciples with this awesome promise: ‘Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live’ (John 14:19 NIV 2011 Edition). And that promise applies to you too! ‘For the Lord himself will come down from heaven…the dead in Christ will rise first…we who are still alive…will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever’ (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NIV 2011 Edition). What a day that will be!
Luke 7:31-50, Psalm 40-42
