Holy Week - Resurrection Sunday

Luke 24:1-9 But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.  So they went in, but they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?  He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back 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.”  Then they remembered that he had said this.  So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples—and everyone else—what had happened.  

Resurrection power is so incredible to us even today.  We have great technology that can do so much, but still death is so final.  Death is such a powerful force and unknown in our lives.  But for God death is powerless.  For God death has no impact or sting.

Jesus resurrection remind us that we serve a God who is not controlled or intimidated by death.  Death was not God's choice, but rather the unfortunate impact of sin on the creation of God.  We can live with a confidence that our God is more powerful than death!  

Jesus resurrection reminds us that there is power in living with the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  What threat can the devil make against us when we have Jesus on our side?  What can the enemy do to us if we have resurrection power on our team?  We can live with a calm assurance that He who is for us is greater then the one who is against us!
