He is alive. King Jesus is alive and reigns
forevermore. Easter calls on each believer to recognize the true nature of
deliverance from sin and death and rising to a new life in Jesus Christ. The
angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for
Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just as He said. Come
and see the place where He lay (Matt 27: 5-6)”. The matter of believing can be
a very difficult one. We know that if we are not eye – witnesses of many things
then believing is really a hard choice. The women were afraid perhaps because they have not
seen the body of Jesus and they could not tell where His Body is.The fear of believing and knowing that Jesus
is the Christ and have done nothing about it can be a regrettable one. Did I
trust or believe Jesus enough? Did I help to crucify Him?Is it too late to believe and participate in
lifting up Jesus as King and Savior?
Perhaps these were some of the questions
that were going through the minds of the women. But the word for this Easter
season is “Do not be afraid He is risen, Jesus is risen”.The real matter is that Jesus wants us to be comforted
as we make the decision to believe that He came, to believe that He was
crucified and believe that He is alive and present with us. If Jesus is present
with you what are you worrying about? He is RISEN and you can participate in
this glorious and resurrected life. Do not be afraid Jesus is with you now and
forevermore. Therefore if Easter is not commercial activities, having tasty bun
and cheese then it is simply believing that Jesus delivers from sin and death.
Isn’t this the real joy of Easter? Live in peace, comfort and spiritual
blessing of Jesus.
