Happy Resurrection Day, The Gospel Explained

The Angel told Mary that Jesus had risen from death and that He no longer lays in the tomb. After the third day of defeating death and hell, He rose up in all power and authority. Jesus won back our rightful position with God after Adam and Eve dropped the ball in the Garden of Eden. Just like Jona was in the belly of the whale for three days, so was Jesus in the belly of the earth for three days, until Justice was satisfied. Justice needed to be satisfied, so mankind could be brought back into the Lord’s sheepfold, His family. Sin entered this world because of disobedience to God’s instructions, and commands. Because of the blood of Jesus that was shed for the sin of the entire world population, we can be free from habitual sin. Once Jesus comes into our hearts we can live above the evil in this world. By not responding to the temptations of sin. We cannot resist without the Lord’s help, forget about that being possible. Even today after being a Christian for many years, I still must contend with sin in the world, and the sin nature still in my body. Paul the apostle said he must keep his flesh under everyday (1Corinthians 9:27). Our human spirits have been redeemed, not our bodies. Renewing our minds with God’s word will give us the understanding on how to keep those inordinate desires of our bodies at bay. Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the dead. No other person has done this on our behalf as a mediator for us, as an attorney for us, our go-between us and Father God. Because Jesus got up from death we have been resurrected with Him into a whole new life. Happy Resurrection Day!
