HAPPY AND BLESSED RESURRECTION AND ENTHRONEMENT SUNDAY: HE’S BOTH RISEN AND ENTHRONED FOREVER MORE!
“Jesus said unto her, I AM THE RESURRECTION, and THE LIFE: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” John 11:25-26.
He’s Risen! He’s Enthroned!! The Risen Christ, He’s our Salvation and by Him, through Him and in Him, we are RECONCILED to Father God, and our Relationship and Fellowship with Father God that was lost in Adam, are now restored in glory and in virtue, in the grace. Glory to God in Highest and Hallelujah. May His name forever be praised as we celebrate and commemorate Him today, in the now and always. For by Him, we are blessedly assured and ensured. Our REDEMPTION is now certified and sealed.
“. . . 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne . . . 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who SITS on the THRONE, who LIVES forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who SITS on the THRONE and WORSHIP Him who LIVES forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created” Revelation 4:1-11.
Our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus is not just risen, alive and enthroned, He’s the resurrection Himself. And when the resurrection Spirit dwells in you, it makes all the difference. That’s what makes this commemoration awesome and worth celebrating indeed. What about you?
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who ARE in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death . . . 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who RAISED Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who RAISED Christ from the dead will also give LIFE to your MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you” Romans 8:1-11.
Herein are three reasons why you MUST go to a local Church this morning to celebrate and commemorate the risen and enthroned Christ, who is Saviour and Lord and soon coming king:
- Our Sin Forgiven – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh. [Romans 5:1-2, 17-21; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 8:28-30].
- Our Access Guaranteed – means Our acts of FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God restored. No more middle failing man anymore. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]
- Our lost BLESSEDNESS and POSITION in Him, is now restored without conditionality in Christ Jesus. [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14, 26-29].
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
