Resurrection Day

1 Corinthians 15:53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal put on immortality. v54 But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory. v55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" v56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; v57 but thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. v58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. 

Beloved, we give thanks to Jesus our Lord for His reserrection, where He proved to the world and the rulers of this world, that death had no power over Him. Even after His own resurrection, Jesus opened the tombs of many dead in Jerusalem, and coming out they appeared to many in the holy city. There are many confirming Scripture verses that also liken our own rebirth to the resurrection.  "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, new things have come." (2 Cor. 5:17). And Jesus spoke to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26). Shortly after speaking these words, He raised His friend Lazarus from the dead.  For a born again believer, life after natural death is a certainty, there is no need to fear it or question it. God also gives many people glimpses of heaven and the afterlife before they die, so their testimony will confirm His word and give hope to those who have doubt. At Gather the Outcasts Ministry, we preach the risen Christ, the one who died and rose again, that we can walk in newness of life.  Pray about your part in partnering with our ministry in Africa.  We have a great school project going, plus church plants, and our Living Water Children's Home, which supports the abandoned and orphaned children of Kenya. May you have a wonderful Resurrection Day!  Thank you and God bless you.
