He is not God of the dead, but of the living.
Our king came down to serve his peasants. The master of heaven came to give us the most precious thing he had. He came to give us himself – to give up his dying breath, so that we could be filled with His Spirit of life.
Jesus sends us into each other’s lives, and into the lives of other people, so that we’d be able to encourage each other: “Do not fear; only believe.”
Jesus has been given the ability to bring forgiveness to all who believe. The miraculous healing, here, proves it. Jesus’s sacrificial death on the cross, confirms it. Jesus’s resurrection from the dead – it certifies it...
Jesus isn’t just another man. He’s the Son of God. Perfect in power. And powerful in his perfections.
Rejoice in knowing that the gospel will not fail. Because the good news is still good. And God is still God.
If Christ is able to give us hope and new life in the midst of death, he is able to give us hope and life in every life situation.
