The Resurrection Displays The Power Of God

I am excited about the resurrection because it...

DISPLAYS THE POWER OF GOD

 

Romans 1:4 says that the resurrection declared the Lord Jesus to be the Son of God with power. The resurrection displays Christ’s power over Satan, death, and the grave.

 

Pardon my imagination, but I can see as the stone was rolled in front of tomb, death and corruption jumped upon and straddled the body of Jesus, smiled and shouted with glee, “We’ve got Him now.” They both wrapped their bony arms around Him and declared, “He’s ours and we will never let Him go.” Day one passes and then day two. They exclaim, “Yes, we’ve got Him! He belongs to us.” But then on the morning of the third day the tomb began to shake and the body of the Lord Jesus began to move. Death shouts, “Corruption, hold on to Him. Don’t let Him go.” Corruption shouts back, “I’m trying.” Then all of a sudden the linen clothes in their hand went limp. “Where is He,” screams death. “I don’t know,” cries corruption. Then a voice is heard saying, “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Cp. Rev. 1:18).

 

Yes, the resurrection displays the mighty, marvelous, miraculous power of the Lord Jesus. If you ever have any doubts as to whom Jesus is or what He can do, all you need to do is look at the resurrection.
