Christ’s Redeeming Love | Part 3
“And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain… But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead.”
1st Corinthians 15:12, 20
Today is Easter Sunday.
The day Christ rose from the dead two thousand years ago, conquering death and freeing humanity of the burden of our sins once and for all. The day that is so central to the Christian faith, for as Paul writes in 1st Corinthians, if the resurrection didn’t happen, everything we’ve ever believed is for naught. But the good news is, it is true.
Death, where is thy sting?
It’s the best news in the world and it’s true. What are the odds? But God loved—loves—us so much, He sent His one and only beloved Son to die for us. And He conquered death, once and for all. Not even death, that terrible and awful thing, can overcome the God of the universe.
Death, thou shalt die.
He is risen!

ReplyDeleteHe is risen indeed! "Multiple people have attempted to disprove the gospel accounts, and found only evidence for, not against." I love those kind of testimonies!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Ruth! I hope you had a lovely and blessed Easter weekend. :)
DeleteI did indeed! I hope you had a wonderful Easter, as well.
DeleteThank you! I did, rather :D
DeleteI think that's a very good point...it can be easy to get caught up in the spiritual significance of the Resurrection (which is absolutely important too, of course!) to the exclusion of its reality. But it absolutely is real...the Passion, death, and resurrection of Christ is a provable historical fact.
ReplyDeleteHave a very happy Easter, Astrya!
Indeed! Both are quite crucial.
DeleteIt’s a bit too late to wish the same to you, but I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
Hey, I celebrate Easter as a whole season (that might just be a Catholic thing, though don't quote me on that) so you're not too late for me! ;)
DeleteNever a “bad” time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
DeleteVery true! :)
DeleteJust found your blog recently and love these posts so much -- thank you for sharing!
