Resurrected

     Death has has no hold over us. We transition from this world to the next. Our bodies will be immortal and invincible! In this life, once we are saved by our Lord, we have been redeemed from the grave, restored into new life, reformed into the image of Christ, refreshed on a daily basis and, finally, we live forever!

     How do we thank Jesus for this new life and the resurrected life to come? We thank Him by continually believing, loving and trusting Him above all else. When circumstances appear impossible, He turns them into good. We become transformed through our suffering as gold refined in a fire.

     And he never leaves us, not ever. There will be times in our humanity where we wonder where He has gone, where we wonder why me, where we wonder how we can get through another day. The truth is He is right there, abiding with us, understanding the pain we are in, as He suffered more than we will ever know.

     Trust Him today with whatever is on your heart and feel His presence. It is a forever love, a forever presence, a forever partner.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen 2 Peter 3:18

For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His. Romans 6:5

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable. 1 Corinthians 15:42

Jesus,

How can we thank You for life everlasting. Be with us each day until we are united with You in heaven. We praise You today.

Amen
