The real power

We are just over a month from Easter. That is the celebration of Jesus rising from the tomb - coming back from death. Overcoming death - defeating it. We tend to forget the real reason we celebrate sometimes - especially those of us who are making plans and attending rehearsals and getting ready for Easter Sunday itself... but it is death being overcome by life which is what we should be looking at.

Death creeps into our lives in many ways, not just disease or physical things. It can come in through relationship problems with loved ones, hopes and dreams which don't come to pass, loved ones who walk away from God and dive into the very things we prayed they would never even look at, let alone touch.

But we can overcome death by appropriating the very same power that brought Jesus back from the dead, that is, the power of Christ Jesus himself. Ask Jesus for that power to be part of your life - I am. In fact for some reason I have been awake most of the night almost begging Him for that power to become real in my life once again.
