Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...

Peter 1:3
Many people will at least agree that Jesus actually lived on
this earth and died many years ago. The truth that is hard to swallow for some
is that not only did He live and die, but He was resurrected and conquered the
grave. Believing in His resurrection is paramount to our identity as believers
and to who we are in our Christian faith.
Furthermore, Jesus is the Son of God, who died a gruesome
death on the cross for our sins and then lived again victorious over death.
What do you believe? Does it make you uncomfortable to hear the word
resurrection? Do you believe that only our Creator could return Himself to life
again?
True hope is found in Jesus' resurrection. Could you imagine
the despair His faithful followers felt during the aftermath of His
crucifixion? That same despair and hopelessness must be what it's like to not
know that our Savior lives.
As a believer, we can face death with no fear, but
understanding that the end of our time on this earth is only the beginning
chapter in a book that is written in God's love that will never end. The best
is yet to come as we too will conquer death with Jesus!
