Victory Is Ours In The Risen Lord

As I write out my sermon for Sunday, thought of God's love and power go through my mind. As I preach on Luke 24:13-35 Jesus on the road to Emmaus, I see just how personal God wants to be with us. How close a relationship he want to have with each and every one of us. On this friday I think of songs such as: Power In The Blood; My Jesus, I Love Thee; When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; Near the Cross and many other. Love. Grace. Sacrifice. Do we as Christians understand the cost? Sacrifice?

On Sunday, Death turned into Victory. Bondage turned unto freedom. Praise God! We have power through the Risen Savior! Jesus is alive!
I want to challenge us to get to know God personally. Having a personal relationship with Jesus. Having your heart burn within you as the two men on the road to Emmaus.

Go and tell others about the good news of Jesus Christ, how he was Crufied and is Alive.
How have your eyes been opened?
How has your heart burned from within?
How can you or your congregation be a witness?
Now is the time.

Share your thoughts.

Happy Easter!

    I heard a preacher say, the door to the tomb was rolled away and shone light into the darkness. But this wasn't so that Jesus could find His way out, but so that others could find their way in. Take care!

    easter have nothing to do with the Risen Lord. I have never saw easter in the Bible. I think we need to give all the glory to Jesus Christ, not a easter bunny. The easter bunny didn't save us from our sins. They didn't nail a easter bunny to a cross. Jesus was nailed to a cross not a rabbit. Thank you for taking my comment, have a blessed day in the Lord
