Living in the Ressurection

Are you living in the resurrection? What does it mean to live in the resurrection? How do you live in the resurrection?

In light of Easter and the resurrection of Christ, the defeat of death, and the promise we have in him, it is so easy to forget that we live in the wake of an all powerful God. It is sad but true, we go to easter service at church and as we leave we quickly realize that we have the same problems as we did before we went to Easter service. We feel burdened, that the world is weighing us down with work and worries and all too quickly we forget what we just celebrated, that Jesus has conquered the grave and wants us to bring our burdens to him.

What does it mean to live in the resurrection? It means to have faith that Jesus has gone ahead of us to prepare our place and that the problems of this world mean nothing because our salvation is secured. So in the mean while, here on Earth, we can lift our burdens, our hurts, our struggles to God because if Jesus can conquer the grave he can most certainly conquer our problems. Living in the resurrection means living a new life of joy and confidence in Yahweh.

How do you live in the resurrection? I can't tell you, but what I can tell you that it looks different than how the rest of the world lives. There is a quality that will draw people to you, they won't know why and maybe you won't either but by being yourself in the resurrection of Christ you will be doing more than you could ever believe.
