John 11:25-26 – “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.
Col 2:11-15 – In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
I am telling you, as I write this small blog, I weep today because of the joy of the “new beginning” that God gave me through His Son Jesus Christ. If it wasn’t for Jesus resurrecting for all mankind, I wouldn’t have been able to taste what it’s like to have a brand new life.
He erased all of our sins and erased all of our past so that we can walk today with a fresh new mindset; and giving us the power to forget those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
So today, I would say, not “Happy Resurrection Day”, I would say, “Happy New Beginning Day” to all those who believe and to those that will read this and believe in Jesus – Happy New Birthday! You are a new person now because of Jesus Christ!
Thank you Jesus for raising from the dead and not forgetting us on your way up!
