"For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living."
Romans 14:9 (NKJ)
The day of Easter, the day of our Lord's resurrection from the grave, is an awesome, awesome holiday! When that tomb was opened and people saw it empty inside, it showed the world that Jesus Christ is alive! That He defeated death, and that He won salvation to give to mankind, so that we could be saved from eternal death.
And it also means something this verse proclaims: that when Christ rose again and created a way to salvation, He also became King of those He redeems. When He saved us and made us part of His family, He founded a future in which He'll rule as rightful King over a righteous, eternal kingdom! What a great day that'll be!
So many good, good things happened on that first Easter Sunday; God is good! Amen?
