What comes to your mind when you look at this photo? The topics of Jesus Christ and the cross can be so polarizing. I drive by this enormous cross at least four times a day and the sheer size of it brings to my mind, most often, one word: POWER. Power over death. Power over sin so sin cannot win. The power of resurrection.
The events of that Resurrection Sunday more than 2,000 years ago mean that what Jesus said about Himself was true. The dead man who was resurrected said… “I am the Living One. I was dead and behold I am alive forever and ever.” “I am the Way, The Truth and the Life.” That’s some serious supernatural RESURRECTION POWER.
Here’s the best news of all: that same resurrection power that brought Jesus back to life is available to each and every one of us when we choose to live in His everlasting power rather than our own limited power. Jesus said he’ll pour out the POWER OF HIS SPIRIT on all who call on His name.
What areas of your life need POWER POURED IN? Are you feeling spiritually dead? Are some of your important relationships dead? A dead marriage? A dead end job or job search? Have your hope and passion for life been crucified?
This Easter season is the perfect time to lay it all down at the foot of the cross. Be assured that God can restore the dead things in your life. Invite Him in. Remain in Him. Cry out for Him to infuse you with His RESURRECTION POWER. Anticipate LIFE being restored.
This song by Nicole Sponberg is one of my favorites to blast when “I’m in need of resurrection.” Take a listen. Power up. ROCKon!
