HE IS RISEN!

Three powerful words- "HE IS RISEN!" One short phrase. Yet it saves, it redeems!

What do these words mean to us?

• "HE" - Who is this HE? It’s Jesus. His “name that is above every name” (Philippians 2:9). There is power in His Name. He is the Savior. The Living God. He is the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). He became man because He wanted to show you the way. Live like Jesus, love like Jesus.
• "IS" - is the singular present indicative of the word “Be”. SINGULAR means ONE. Jesus is the ONE & Only which means your whole life should be based on Him alone. Your life should not be based on your emotions, social status, money, power or looks. It should be based on Jesus alone. “IS” is also in the PRESENT. He is always present, always in the moment. Even if you don’t feel or see Jesus, HE is here with you. “BE”, that’s what He calls you to be. “BE” a believer in God!
• "RISEN" - That word tells us that Jesus overcame death. The tomb is empty. Death has no power over him. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55). Jesus is the life. When you have Jesus in you then you are truly alive. As Romans 8:10 says, “..if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness”. Be with Jesus, be fully alive in Him.

Jesus died & rose again because He LOVES YOU. On this special day of Easter, Jesus also greets you with three words - "I LOVE YOU!"

May you have a powerful Easter! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
