“EVERYONE RESPONDS”

The greatest phenomenon to ever take place in the world is the Resurrection of Christ Jesus! Noone has ever died and walked out of their own grave. The New Testament recounts several miraculous instances of individuals being raised from the dead, including Jairus’ daughter, Lazarus, and the son of the widow from the city of Nain. However, none of them raised their selves; Christ, the Godman, brought them back to life.

Jesus not only come out of the grave after being in it dead for three days, but He also prophesied that He would do so. In the day of Christ’s Resurrection, everyone responded. They either responded through acceptance, or they responded through rejection. Make no mistake about it though, everyone responded. The disciples responded with bold proclamation of His resurrection. Others within the Jewish community responded with skepticism. Then there were those who just rejected it and stuck to His death.

How do you respond to the Resurrection of Christ? Do you deny it? Do you view it with skepticism? Do you live your entire life centered on the belief and validity of the Resurrected Savior? My response is the latter! Christ is alive! He arose from the grave on the third day, and He alone has brought me from death to life. He called me out of my grave and regenerated me! My response is this: HE IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE!  

John 20:1—“ ¹ The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.”
