We just celebrated the greatest of all events in all of history - the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! It is the most crucial element to the Christian faith. Jesus is no longer on the cross, and He is no longer in the grave - but He is risen - JUST AS HE SAID HE WOULD!
Knowing that and hoping all of you believe that, listen to these words from the apostle Paul:
1 Corinthians 15: 54-57
"...Death is swallowed up in victory." "O Death where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
We have been given victory over sin and death because of what Jesus Christ has done for us! Now that is awesome!
We don't have to live defeated any longer if we have placed our faith and trust in the One who conquered it ALL. Victory has been given to us. So knowing that, listen to the last verse in that same chapter:
Verse 58:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Are you standing and building on the solid foundation - Jesus Christ? If you are - you can't lose! Abound in the work of the Lord. Attempt great things for God. Get out of your comfort zone, share your faith, find the place God would have you serve, use the talents God has given you!
And most of all - Do it for HIS Glory!!
