APRIL 4

A Living Savior

SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 15–16
KEY VERSE: Luke 24:6
He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee.

One cannot diminish the torture or agony of the Cross. Christ suffered and died for our sin, willingly laying down His life for the transgressions of men. Yet there can likewise be no diluting the supernatural power of the Resurrection.

None of the benefits of the Cross—forgiveness of sin, justification of sinners—could be ours today without a living Savior. The resurrection of Christ attested more than any other event to His full and absolute deity. Jesus met and conquered death, Satan, and sin, proclaiming His divine nature and displaying His divine power.

Today, the believer can enjoy the exquisite delight of union with the resurrected Christ. At work, in the store, in the house, or on the road, you have Jesus Christ in you, and God has placed Him in you.

The resurrected Christ lives in you so that you may partake of His life and sup with Him. He helps you, comforts you, guides you, loves you, and pours His life out through you. Jesus does more than just live. He lives in you, makes His abode in your heart, and infuses your ordinary life with supernatural meaning, strength, and hope. He arose just as He said He would, and He lives to give you the abundant life He promised.

Jesus, You live in me! I am partaker of Your life. I can fellowship with You. Come and comfort, guide, and pour Your life through me. Infuse my ordinary life with supernatural meaning.
