How does the resurrection of Jesus light up your world? What does his death and resurrection save you from? Fear? Doubt? Anger? What does it save you for? Forgiving? Serving? Praying? Witnessing? One thing we know for sure, when Jesus died on the cross, we died with Him. And when He was raised from the dead, He moved into our lives. Now we can say, “it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.” Martin Luther, who spoke to us yesterday, once felt he was confronted by Satan. Satan was accusing him of not doing enough for God. Luther responded to the devil this way. He pointed to himself first and said, “You’ve got it wrong Satan, Luther doesn’t live here anymore. Jesus Christ lives here.” Then he pointed to the cross and said , “Luther lives on that cross.” Jesus lights up your world by moving into your life and taking your old self and placing it on the cross.
If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods from among you.
1 Samuel 7:3
For us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
1 Corinthians 8:6
All-knowing God, your call to return to you brings me to my true home. In you I live and move and have my being. Forgive me for seeking temporary happiness instead of your eternal joy. Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart. Help me align my life to what you have created me to be. I want to honor you. Amen.
