BECAUSE HE LIVES…
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” – John 11:26-26

Have We Encountered the Risen Christ?
Are we living changed lives like the disciples after encountering the Risen Christ? Take Peter for example, after denying that he even knew Jesus 3 times he completely changed his tune after encountering Christ after his resurrection. On the Day of Pentecost Peter stood boldly and preached Christ and his resurrection, rather than cowering in fear. Because of this encounter, and Peter’s boldness to preach, over three thousand were saved that day. (Acts 2:41)

And what about Thomas, who doubted and questioned? Though he required proof by touching the scars on Christ’s side and feet, he too went on to preach Christ’s resurrection until his death, refusing to deny what he had seen after encountering Christ after the resurrection.

Peter, Thomas and so many others gave everything because they had encountered the Risen Christ. Have we?

Scripture tells us that He appeared to many after His resurrection. He ate with them. He spoke with them. He walked with them. He was fully among them as He is among us. Do we live as if we have encountered Christ? Are we boldly proclaiming the resurrection to the Lost as Peter? Are we refusing to deny Him as Thomas?

These are all questions I would encourage each of us to ask ourselves this Resurrection season. Because how can we not IF we HAVE encountered the Resurrected Christ? This season let’s boldly claim, “Because He Lives, we can face tomorrow. Because He Lives, ALL fear is gone!”
