Resurrection Life With Jesus

What does it mean for us that Jesus rose from the dead? What are the implications of Jesus’ resurrection? What does resurrection life look like for Jesus? What does resurrection life look like for the follower of Jesus? 

The resurrection of Jesus has implications for his life and for our life.

Because Jesus rose from the dead, he lives, he has defeated death, and he gives us his resurrection life as well. Because Jesus lives, we can live also, not only in this life, but forever with God and with one another in eternity.

In Colossians chapter three, the Apostle Paul wrote, “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” (Colossians 3:1-4, ESV). 

Jesus has resurrected from the dead. And because Jesus lives, we can live also, when we place our faith and trust in him. Jesus holds our lives in his hand and we have our lives hidden with the resurrected Jesus. 

May we live resurrection life with Jesus as we set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for we have died, and our life is hidden with Christ in God. 

A Collect for Easter Day: “Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
