Jesus Has Risen!

 

Good Morning!

Jesus rose very early in the morning in order for us to be liberated from sin. 

 The anticipation on Sunday morning was to discover the deceased body of Jesus in a borrowed tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, arrived prepared to anoint and clothe the body of Jesus. Much to their dismay, there was no body in the tomb! 

 Faith often gets weak due to doubt, regardless of how much truth is spoken or heard. We tend to rationalize how things that seem impossible can actually happen. 

Jesus told everyone he would rise again but to most people, death was death. There was some doubt. Disbelief.

 Despite our conviction. Jesus' ardent devotees and disciples had numerous instances where they questioned Jesus’ words and supernatural good deeds, including the women who arrived first, the eleven disciples who heard the good news, and the two men on the road to Emmaus. All of them harbored belief yet doubted the possibility of it being true. 

 

Jesus had to make a great effort to wake up early on Sunday morning. Despite not being required to do it, he still did it. It was by rising that all the claims previously made by Jesus were vindicated. These claims include him being the Son of God in the flesh, the fulfillment of God's purpose for humankind, and the Messiah the true sacrifice as the Lamb of God. 

 

What are you facing that is causing doubt? Do you believe that Jesus died and rose on the third day? Take that belief and allow it to manifest in your spirit. Let today be the first day of releasing doubt in your life.
