FAITH CAPSULE: Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus is to live life for God.
1 Corinthians 15
The resurrection of Jesus is the reason for the need to be praising God.
Psalm 150:6 states, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”
One with the breath of life owes it all to the resurrection of Jesus for the salvation of all.
It is good to know God, engaging in the celebration of the death of Jesus at the Calvary and the rising of Jesus to be alive for all.
It is the love of God for all that provokes the death and the rise of Jesus.
Celebrating is praising God with understanding. (Psalm 47:7)
Celebrating Christ without understanding there will be no knowledge to be increased for God but decreased not to be elevated.
Jesus came to give it all on the cross of Calvary, and He gave it more abundantly that all should have life.
John 10:10 records the word of Jesus, “I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”
The desire of Jesus, His passion for all, is for all to live life abundantly and not live wasted.
With faith, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus should be every moment of life by knowing that Jesus Christ paid for all on the cross and rose for all to have life abundantly.
Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus soberly reflecting reflect the price on the Calvary, the love of God for all.
With faith is to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus soberly, not pessimism (doubt)but to take away disappointment and hopelessness.
Celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ is keeping alive the memory of death and the rise of Jesus for all.
All should celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ to provoke salvation as Galatians 2:20 states, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
The majority celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with a lack of knowledge.
Many spend time in the church but very far from Jesus while He is in their presence.
As an acclaimed believer of Jesus, do you know him or only know about Him?
From the times of the Old Testament to New Testament, the people of God do not know God, just as Hosea 4:6 records, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
Knowing about God is not with understanding of celebrating the resurrection of God.
All should know God to seek Jesus diligently, celebrating Him for the life he has given to all to die and rise.
All should know to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ to be sober and awake, not to miss the salvation paid by Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:6 speaks to all, “Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.”
Prayer for today: Pray that you live life for God.
