Word for Life



"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”
John 11:25-26

He’s alive
‘He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.Our Lord Jesus Christ lives. This is the hope provided to all those who believe in him. He promises that we too will rise when we die and live forever with him in eternity. Death is not the end, it is rather the beginning of our eternity in the wonderful presence of God; we should therefore not fear death.

We should also keep in mind that the scripture tells us to crucify our flesh with its desires and passions and die to ourselves every day. We are taught to live by the spirit and walk by the spirit. This means that our earthly nature which is the flesh that is governed by the soul, should die and give way to our spirit which after being born again, will grow and rise up to govern the soul and flesh and bring them into submission and into obedience of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Easter period is over and many people spent it in different ways. How did you spend yours? I hope you took time to spend with the Lord and get closer to him. With the conclusion of the season, let us rededicate our lives to Jesus in true repentance and truly seek his face and as he promises, as we behold him, he will take us from glory to glory.
