Good Morning All,
I know today is Resurrection Sunday, and all Saints all over the world will come together and give the LORD Praises and Thanks, but to me, every day is Resurrection Sunday.
Every day we should be dying to our old self and old ideas to be renewed in the spirit of our mind to emerge anew in Christ.
Every day we who are sold out to Christ and a slave to his will expose ourselves for the sake of the cross; that we might convert some for the army of GOD.
Every day we are buried, and resurrected for his name sake.
Let the Grace of GOD show in our daily lives, so all men can see that Jesus died a real death, so we could live above the influence of the sin nature, and the enemy. Selah!
1 Corinthians 15 Msg Bible
29. Why do you think people offer themselves to be baptized for those already in the grave? If there's no chance of resurrection for a corpse, if God's power stops at the cemetery gates, why do we keep doing things that suggest he's going to clean the place out someday, pulling everyone up on their feet alive?
30-33. And why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live. Do you think I'd do this if I wasn't convinced of your resurrection and mine as guaranteed by the resurrected Messiah Jesus? Do you think I was just trying to act heroic when I fought the wild beasts at Ephesus, hoping it wouldn't be the end of me? Not on your life! It's resurrection, resurrection, always resurrection, that undergirds what I do and say, the way I live. If there's no resurrection, "We eat, we drink, the next day we die," and that's all there is to it. But don't fool yourselves. Don't let yourselves be poisoned by this anti-resurrection loose talk. "Bad company ruins good manners."
34. Think straight. Awaken to the holiness of life. No more playing fast and loose with resurrection facts. Ignorance of God is a luxury you can't afford in times like these. Aren't you embarrassed that you've let this kind of thing go on as long as you have?
