Jesus is Alive and Well!
“He is
risen!” said the early Christians.
“He is risen indeed!” would come the reply.
It is the Resurrection which is the defining
difference between Christianity and other world religions. At the time of
Christ, many faiths believed in the immortality of the soul – a common belief
until the rise of atheism in the twentieth century – but only Christians
believed in the resurrection of the body.
As we remember Jesus’ gift of Himself for us – to
save us from our sins – let us also rejoice that He is the first-born from the
dead. He is God’s pledge of salvation to us, so that we have ‘the hope of
eternal life that God, who never lies, promised before the ages began.’ Titus 1:2
