God has given us the gospel and the gospel is good news, but what is your gospel? What is your message? If our Lord Jesus were still in the grave, there would never have been a gospel, but He was raised from the dead, praise God! Jesus Christ – the Seed of David – has been raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God. There He makes intercession for us, standing as our great High Priest. Don’t live as if you serve a dead God. Live everyday of your life like you know that Jesus is alive!
Whatever you require of God, remember Jesus rose from the dead to ensure that you got it. Whatever the problem you may face today, He rose from the dead to empower you and enable you solve it. He was once down in the grave but the grave could not hold Him down. That ought to be your gospel – a gospel that is alive. Remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Yes, He died, but He didn’t remain dead. Put this in mind and don’t live like those in the world who are serving dead gods.
Since Jesus was raised from the dead, and you believe in Him, it means your level of life has changed. Whether you are living in that new level of life right now or not, the fact remains that you have been translated from darkness to light, from death to life. When the Word of the gospel came to you and you received it, it became a life-force in you. It brought the transforming power of God into your life, and that power is working in you now. There are certain truths from God’s Word you should never lose sight of, and this is one of them – that the Lord Jesus, whom you serve, is risen from the dead and is alive and well today, praise the Lord!
