Had He not risen from the grave, He would’ve been like all other men. His resurrection sets Him apart from all who came before Him. His resurrection is the source and assurance of our hope. Because He lives, those who belong to Him are promised life eternal.
Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
I rejoice in the day I encountered the risen Lord. I didn’t see Him in bodily form, but I met Him through the Spirit.. I wasn’t looking for Him, but He came seeking for me. He spoke to my heart, revealing my need, and saved me by His marvelous grace!
