The blessings of the Cross
Peace be unto you. There was peace proclaimed on the Disciple. It doesn’t matter what fire and storm you are facing. The resurrection brought peace and you shall find peace in him.
He is alive forevermore. We will live with Him forevermore. Say it out loud to yourself because Jesus is alive. I live.
No more looking for the living among the dead. No more looking for deliverance in places it cannot be found. No more putting our confidence in unfaithful men, systems, and mundane things. No more looking for satisfaction in drugs, drinks, fornication, wickedness, witchcraft, necromancy, and all sorts of demonic things. No more going to palm readers to speculate the future. No more looking for the living among the dead. Jesus is the way, the Truth, and Life.
Promotion to sonship. He said to Mary in John 20:16-17, that he will ascend to His father and ours, to His God and ours. Hallelujah. We are no longer servants and friends but promoted to His brothers at The resurrection.
Three-fold Commissioning. We were officially commissioned to service in John 20: 19-23. As the Father had sent Him, so He sends us. He released the power of the Holy Ghost and the power to remit sin.
Power over nature. His countenance was like lightning and the men guarding the sepulchre were as dead men. Whatever kept you in subjection, suppressed, held you captive, is taken away by the power of the Resurrection.
He said to Mary and the disciples; Fear Not. This is it. No more fear of that sickness, loss of job, sleepless night, crying, sorrow and pain. Fear not.
Mary ran with excitement to tell of the good news. You will run with excitement to declare God’s Goodness in your life. You shall be filled with testimony of impossibilities made possible.
The stone is rolled away. Every stone that has kept you behind, it doesn’t matter how much it was sealed, with iron bars, cement, or concrete. Never mind, it shall be rolled away by the resurrection power.
The reject was the first to see Jesus. Mary persevered at the tomb when Peter and John left. She was privileged to be the first to see Jesus after the resurrection. She was the harlot caught in adultery, meant to be stoned. Not sure what your past looked like. If you repent and believe, there is no limit to the heights you can get to.
But please don’t be in unbelief as the disciples when they were told the first time. Don’t be dull at heart as the two disciples on their way to Emmaus and they did not recognise Jesus, neither did their heart burn within them. Don’t be dull at understanding, like Peter who didn’t remember what Jesus told them in Matthew 17 that will rise again on the third day.
