Devotional
What the enemy meant to use to disgrace our Lord and Master Jesus, God has turned it into victory, to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil. This is a mystery beyond human comprehension. Though Jesus has said it in Galilee, “that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and that He would rise again on the third day” (Lk 24:7). But God blinded the devil to the knowledge of this truth, so that salvation would come to man.
Key Scripture
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.Acts 2:24 NIV
Refreshing for the Day
So, beloved, I pray for you; today as Christ has defeated the powers of the enemy and darkness, and rose again from the death, may everything that’s death in your life resurrects again. As the powers of death and the shackles of the grave could not hold Jesus’ captive, may every power that has held you down in the past lose its hold on you now and forever in Jesus’ name. “For if the son of Man sets you free, you’re free indeed” (Jn 8:36). Congratulations! I celebrate you on this special day of Christ’s resurrection, and I say happy Easter to you and yours!
Note This
The resurrection of Christ completes the salvation of man from sin, and the inauguration of God’s kingdom on earth.
