Christ Has Risen!


This fact has overwhelming importance;
It is the proof that Christ Jesus is who He said He was: the Messiah.
It is the proof that the sacrifice of His body and His blood
Are sufficient to satisfy God's Law;
That without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Had Christ Jesus not risen from the dead
There would be no proof of this reality.

It is the proof that the joy set before Christ Jesus was not in vain.
The joy set before Him was a Bride without spot, wrinkle or blemish.
Because of His sacrifice, She would overcome this world
By His blood and the word of Her testimony
Not loving this life so much as to shrink from death;
Even as Christ Jesus did not shrink from death.

His death and His blood brings LIFE to all who would believe in Him;
To all those who stood condemned by the by the sin of Adam;
By the sin nature that they were born with because of the original sin.

All mankind, the entire world, every living person,
Stands hopeless, helpless and condemned before a holy God.
Faith in Christ Jesus is the only way out of this predicament.
He is the only WAY, the only TRUTH and the only LIFE.
He is LIFE itself; the only LIFE that exists.
Without Him there would be no LIFE at all.

By His grace and mercy He extends His LIFE, Eternal LIFE, to everyone.
It is appropriated by faith and faith alone.
Faith, that Christ Jesus is the Messiah of God;
And that God the Father raised Christ Jesus from the dead;
That today, He sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven
Interceding for all who believe.

The last and final proof that Christ Jesus is who He said He was
Is that He is coming soon.
He is coming soon to reclaim the earth He created;
To do away with the kingdom of this world that belongs to Satan;
To do away with sin, the plague of mankind;
To establish His Kingdom on earth for a thousand years, the Millennium.
To consummate His marriage with His Bride
To serve at the magnificent Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
