Jesus is risen from the dead! Because He lives, we also shall live. My life and my recovery have hope because of this truth. All sin – from the beginning of time to the end of time – was laid on Jesus and not even the awful weight of death for these sins could hold Him down. Jesus' resurrection demonstrates that no sin or evil, no pain or brokenness could overcome the power and love of God for those who are in Christ Jesus.
No matter how miserable or fearsome our lives may have been, not even the weight of that can hold us down when Jesus Christ fills us with life. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in us when we completely renounce our former ways and give our will and life over to the care of God. Are we willing to surrender ourselves?
What seems impossible for us, is only impossible when God is not involved. When we truly seek God, things happen that are beyond all that we could ask for or imagine. God’s ways are more generous than we ever dared to hope. God’s power is stronger than anything we have previously encountered. God’s kindness to us is more than any loving response we’ve ever experienced.
When we invite Jesus into our lives He brings power with solutions and hope. He fills us with His Holy Spirit. He fills us with peace and joy.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I believe that the death and resurrection of Jesus gives evidence of the fact that You have power over sin and death. Today, I turn my will and my life over to Your care and ask that You make me alive in my spirit. Teach me Your ways and give me the desire and the power to follow You every day of my life. Amen
