Scripture Reading:
You need not be
amazed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, the one who
was crucified. He has been raised up; He is not here. See the
place where they laid Him. ~Mark 16:6
What Can The
Resurrection Mean To Me?
The good news of
the resurrection is simply this: God, the creator, loves each one
of us dearly. He wants to share all of His vast creation with us.
He wants to share His life, His heart, His wealth and more
importantly His love with us. But He could not because our sins
separated us from Him, so in order to bridge the gap created by
sin, God devised a plan, in which His son, who never sinned, would
take the punishment due us for our sins. (Read Isaiah Chapter 53.)
God could now say to everyone who believes in Jesus and receives
Him as Lord and Savior (i.e., the one who saves them from sin)
that He no longer rejects them because of their sins but now
accepts them because they have the one who takes their sins away.
Now God's love can be expressed to us personally. We can receive
the inheritance that God wants to give us. We can begin to
experience heaven on earth.
Wouldn't you like
to enter into a personal love relationship with God? Wouldn't you
like to enter your spiritual inheritance? It's easy to do, God
never makes things difficult. Just be willing to repent, that is,
turn away from any known sins, things you know are wrong or are
contrary to what the Bible teaches, and open your heart to pray
the following prayer.
"Heavenly
Father, I thank you that you love me and sent your son Jesus to
die on the cross, and shed his blood as payment for my sins. I
believe that Jesus did actually rise from the dead and is now
alive! Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for my sins, and rising
again. I open my heart to you and ask you to come into my heart,
come into my life and become my Lord and Savior. Fill me with
your Holy Spirit so that I will have the ability and the power
to follow you, obey your voice, and your written word, the
Bible.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen"
If you pray this
prayer sincerely, Jesus will come into your life by the power of
the Holy Spirit. You will begin to experience His life, His love,
His joy and His peace. He will lead you to a Church where there
are authentic and sincere believers who can help you grow in the
Lord. Get a Bible and read a portion of it everyday. The Bible is
an amazing book, it has the ability to feed your spirit and build
your faith. Pray everyday, tell the Lord in your own words about
the things going on in your life. Watch God answer your prayers.
If you are sincere
with God, He will be sincere with you and will manifest Himself to
you."
