Yesterday, thousands of people gathered into their churches (whether they attend regularly or not) and remembered the day two thousand years ago when our Lord Jesus Christ rose up out of the grave, conquering Satan and holding the keys of death and hell in His hand.
Why is this so important?
Without Him beating resurrecting, we have no hope of a tomorrow. We will not escape an eternal death if He was not the maverick of eternal life.
Since He has come back from the dead, He gives us the opportunity to have new life. If we continue in our old lives, unchanged by Him, we all know what will happen eventually: we die and our souls live in punishment for our sins. But: if we take His hand, He will lift us up and put His conquering life in us.
This gift is for everyone, not just the Anglo-Saxon white male; His grace is available for all mankind.
What will you do with His ever outreaching hands?
