Jesus is alive!

John 20:1-18

⁸ Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed—⁹ for until then they still hadn't understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead.

It is critical that we believe that Jesus was raised from the dead and that He is alive!  Of course, we much preach the Cross, but we must experience Jesus's death and resurrection in our own personal lives.

Heavenly Father, thank you for your incredible love for us that you would send your own Son to die in place of me.  Father, thank you for raising Jesus from the dead and proving that you have conquered sin and death and that I do not have to live in fear any longer.  Lord, please break the chains of fear and despair in my life because Jesus paid all my debts, and I can live in victory because He has won it!  I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Resurrection.
