The roots of the
Resurrection grow deeply from the soil of Old Testament
Messianic Jew, Paul,
explains to the people of Korinthos that without Resurrection our faith is
useless.
If Jesus did not
return from death, why would we believe in Him?
How is He different
from any other man that has died or will die?
For the believers,
both for Gentiles and Jews, the power of Resurrection was manifested on
Pentecost.
On Pentecost the Holy
Spirit was poured over the believers.
We can receive this
power because of the Resurrection.
Because Christ has
beaten the death.
Resurrection is a
physical deed, and the hope of the Resurrection is as old as the humanity
itself.
The Resurrection was
the hope and dream during the first covenant.
King David knew that
even though he would die and be buried, he had the hope of redemption.
This was the spring
where his joy ran from.
Because God would not
let His Anointed One to die, we all will raise one day from the death.
Just like Jesus we
will receive a new body and be whole in Him, perfect like we were meant to be.
Jesus rose from the
death and once and for all demonstrated that we can be atoned and given redemption.
He, who is the head of
the congregation, vanquished the death and rules now both life and death.
He will also return
victorious.
We, his body, have
been forgiven our sins and freed from the chains of death.
And we have been
called to rule together with Him – forever.
