Risen Lord, Power of God 4-8-07

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! ... "He is not here; for He has been raised, as He said" (Matthew 28:6). You are not an ancient memory, You are the Risen Lord. You are not a theory or theology, You are the Living Word. You are not a form of religion, a philosophy of life, or a doctrinal truth, You are the Power of God. "For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1 Corinthians 1:22-24). Rise in Your power in my soul this day, my Risen Lord. Free me from the tomb of sin and death, release me from the grave clothes of guilt and shame, fill me with the Spirit of Life and Light and Truth. You were crucified in the flesh to this world, but raised in the power and the glory of the Spirit of God. Lord of the Resurrection, let it be so for me. "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life" (Romans 6:3-4). "Because we know that the One who raise the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into His presence" (2 Corinthians 4:14). Arise, my soul, arise, into newness of life this day! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
