Alive!

Today’s theme is life, resurrected, restored, and renewed. Jesus was raised with an imperishable body, one that can never die. We still exist in our pre-Resurrection bodies but the Lord has already given us a guarantee of the better things yet to come. He has given us His Holy Spirit. 

The Spirit testifies in our hearts that God is our Father, that Jesus is our elder brother, that our sins have been forgiven, that the Spirit, Himself, intercedes for us, that we have hope of eternal life in resurrected bodies and have already entered that life by the power of that same Spirit.

These are all glorious truths. They are almost too much to comprehend all at once. If so, remember this Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

And we all, like Martha, say, “Yes Lord, we believe, for we know that in You, we are alive.”
