Dr. Tony Evans famously proclaimed: “You are not fighting for victory—you are fighting from victory. This battle has already been won!”

The battle is won. It is finished.

As we reflect this weekend on Jesus’ death and resurrection, let’s remember to thank Him for giving us the perfect peace that only He can offer. Because of Him, we have the assurance of abundant life and peace right now and for all eternity.

Have a blessed Easter!

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3 (nlt)

Jaroslav Pelikan, longtime Yale professor considered one of “his generation’s preeminent authorities on Christian history,” was renowned for his extensive academic career. He published more than thirty books and won the esteemed Kluge Prize as a lifetime award for his voluminous writing. One of his students, however, recounted what he considered his teacher’s most important words, spoken from his deathbed: “If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not—nothing else matters.”

Pelikan echoed Paul’s conviction: “If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (1 Corinthians 15:14). The apostle made such a bold statement because he knew that the resurrection was not merely a one-off miracle but rather the pinnacle of God’s redeeming work in human history. The promise of resurrection wasn’t only His assurance that Jesus would rise from the dead but His bold affirmation that other dead and ruined things (lives, neighborhoods, relationships) would also one day be brought back to life through Christ. If there’s no resurrection, however, Paul knew that we’re in deep trouble. If there’s no resurrection, then death and destruction win.

But, of course, “Christ has indeed been raised from the dead” (v. 20). Destroyed by the Victor, death loses. And Jesus is the “firstfruits” of all the life that will follow. He conquered evil and death so that we could live bold and free. This changes everything.

But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died."
—1 Corinthians 15:20
It never was God’s plan for us to die. It was God’s plan for us to live forever. It was not even God’s plan for us to age. You see, if our first parents, Adam and Eve, had not eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, sin would not have entered the world. But now we’re all facing the repercussions of it.

The message of Easter, then, is that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead. And death died when Christ rose.

Of course, people are still dying physically, and they always will. It will happen to all of us in time. But the resurrection of Jesus says that we can live beyond the grave.

The apostle Paul wrote, “But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died” (1 Corinthians 15:20 NLT).

To lose a loved one is so difficult to deal with. I know this from experience because our oldest son Christopher died in an automobile accident. When I heard that news, to say I was devastated is an understatement. My life was altered. That is what happens when a loved one leaves you.

We wonder, “Why did God allow this to happen? Why is this tragedy happening? Why are people dying?”

I don’t know. No one does. But if you’re a follower of Christ and have lost loved ones who died in faith, you will see them again. Your loved ones who have gone to Heaven are not only a part of your past; they’re also a part of your future.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying” (John 11:25 NLT). The resurrection of Jesus was the death of death.-Greg Laurie

The message of the cross seems like foolishness to unbelievers because the “natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God” (1 Cor. 2:14). Only when our mind is renewed by the Holy Spirit can we begin to fully grasp the wisdom and power of Christ’s atoning sacrifice.

People with a worldly mindset often think they have a firm grasp of wisdom, yet they can’t understand what leads the lost into a saving relationship with the heavenly Father. To them, it’s all a waste of time.

What’s more, there are many religions around the world that consider good works to be the means of salvation. However, no amount of kindness or generosity can ever overcome the debt of our sin or reconcile us to a holy God. That’s why Jesus Christ, knowing exactly what was necessary to save our souls, offered His blood as a substitutionary atonement on our behalf.

Even when our own ideas might seem to make the most sense, we should realize our heavenly Father is much wiser than we are. He knows what we need before we even ask Him (Matt. 6:32). Therefore, let’s be grateful that He didn’t leave this matter in our hands and thank Him for providing what we could never earn on our own: salvation, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life in His presence.-Charles Stanley

“I wanted somehow to make it not so,” lamented the man, eulogizing a friend who died young. His words gave poignancy to humanity’s ageless heart-cry. Death stuns and scars us all. We ache to undo what can’t be undone.
The longing to “make it not so” might well describe how Jesus’ followers felt after His death. The Gospels say little about those awful hours, but they do record the actions of a few faithful friends.
Joseph, a religious leader who secretly believed in Jesus (see John 19:38), suddenly found the courage to ask Pilate for Jesus’ body (Luke 23:52). Ponder for a moment what it would take to remove a body from a grisly crucifixion and tenderly prepare it for burial (v. 53). Consider too the devotion and bravery of the women who stayed with Jesus every step of the way, even to the tomb (v. 55).
These followers weren’t anticipating a resurrection; they were coming to terms with grief. The chapter ends without hope, merely a somber, “Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes [to embalm Jesus’ body]. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment” (v. 56).
Little did they know the Sabbath intermission was setting the stage for history’s most dramatic scene. Jesus was about to do the unimaginable. He would make death itself “not so.”

But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."

—Isaiah 53:5

Can you recall the moment in your life when you experienced the most pain? Maybe it was physical pain when you broke your arm or your leg or something else. We’ve all experienced moments of physical pain.
But then there’s the emotional pain we can experience when someone has hurt us. For instance, there’s the pain of rejection, betrayal, or abandonment when a husband says to his wife, “I’ve been unfaithful,” or when a wife says to her husband, “I want a divorce.” There’s emotional pain when a child says to a parent, “I don’t want to live the Christian life.”
And one of the worst kinds of pain you can experience is when someone you care about, someone whom you thought was a loyal friend, has betrayed you.
So when do you think Jesus experienced His most painful moment? Do you think it’s when the soldiers placed the crown of thorns on His head or when they beat Him with a Roman whip, most likely a cat-o’-nine tails? Do you think it’s when they placed Him on the cross and drove nails through His hands and His feet?
As horrible and horrific as all those things were, I don’t think any of them were Jesus’s most painful moment. His most painful moment was when He bore all the sins of the world upon Himself.
That’s because Jesus never sinned. He never had even one thought out of harmony with God the Father. But as He hung on the cross bearing the sins of the world, Jesus and the Father were, in effect, separated.
Jesus was forsaken of God so that we could be forgiven. He entered the darkness so that we might walk in the light. He endured sorrow and suffering for a time so that we might enjoy His presence forever.-Greg Laurie

The cross was the place where both His love and His justice were on full display. -Charles Stanley

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."
—Isaiah 53:4
Why did Jesus have to suffer as He did? We understand that He had to be nailed to a cross because the Bible prophesied this. But why did He suffer?

We follow a suffering Savior. In fact, Isaiah 53 gives this description of what Christ went through: “He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; . . . Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted” (Isaiah 53:3–4 NKJV).

Then Isaiah gives us the reason Jesus suffered: “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5 NKJV).

You see, Jesus voluntarily suffered in our place. It’s hard for us to think of a perfect Creator going through something as human as pain and suffering. But God has suffered more deeply than anyone could imagine. That’s why the Bible calls Jesus a “Man of sorrows.” He suffered because He loves us.

This also means that He can enter into your suffering as well. Maybe you’re in a state of personal anguish today. There’s something that is causing you a great deal of pain. Jesus has been there. He has walked in your shoes.

Hebrews 2:17 tells us, “It was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people” (NLT).

Don't think that God is disconnected from what you’re facing. Jesus has faced it. He has experienced it. He understands. You’re not alone in your suffering today.-Greg Laurie

Go tell the world about me,
I was dead but now I live,
I've gotta go now for a little while,
But goodbye is not the end.-Cain
