MIRACLE OF THE RISEN JESUS
Mem. Verse: Matt. 28:6: “He is not here: for He is risen, as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay”.
Reading: Matt. 28:1 - 7;
1 Cor. 15:42 - 45.
A Christian is one who lives in an atmosphere of miracles. Our reading this morning is about the glorious resurrection of Jesus. It is the greatest miracle recorded in the Bible. Until that morning, there was no record of anyone who had died, been buried, risen from the dead, and had his natural body changed to a spiritual body that is not prone to death or decay.
The Miracle of Resurrection made it possible in the case of Jesus, the Son of God. The good news is that all true Christians who received salvation shall experience the Miracle of Resurrection when Jesus shall return to take away the saints with Him to heaven (1 Cor. 15:20, 23).
Because Jesus is the first fruit of the Miracle of Resurrection, we as believers have assurance of the same resurrection power of God when the trumpet shall sound (1 Thess. 4:14 -16).
The beauty of the Miracle of Resurrection is that Jesus was buried in His natural body, but when He arose the third day, He had a spiritual body that is immortal (1 Cor. 15:42 - 45).
The risen Jesus was complete with body, soul, and spirit. The body still had the scars of the wounds He suffered on the Cross. It was a real body made of flesh and bone. The Miracle of Resurrection also endowed Him with supernatural powers.
He went to the grave as Jesus, son of Mary, but when He arose, He became Christ the Messiah. He was seen by many people. His voice was restored, and he spoke and ate food with His disciples (Lk. 24:36 43; Jn. 20:20, 27; Acts 1:3; 10:41-42). This is the glorified body of the risen Jesus; made possible through the Miracle of Resurrection. All believers who live righteously shall have a glorified body in the likeness of the risen Jesus. Are you celebrating Easter because it is your Church's tradition? The truth is, we are celebrating the first fruit of the Miracle of Resurrection. We rejoice because Jesus has opened the door for us to experience the same miracle on His return. HAPPY EASTER celebration!
