The good news of Resurrection Day is that Jesus lives! He who died for our sins has been raised from the dead, giving us hope in the knowledge that there is Victory in Jesus Christ. Resurrection Day reminds us that every Good Friday leads to Sunday, and though our spirits may seem dead, in Jesus Christ there is resurrection and life.

This is what Mary and Martha discovered when their brother Lazarus was sick unto death. Jesus was away at the time and the sisters desired the presence of Jesus. They queried in their hearts and on their lips: Jesus, if you had been here, our brother had not died. They did not understand that the healing power of Jesus is not confined to time nor space. They did not realize that if they had "faith as a mustard seed, they could say unto the mountain, 'Mountain, get out of my way!’” Jesus was so surprised at their lack of faith, He wept, realizing they did not yet know who He was.

Do you know who Jesus is? Do you know that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life? Do you know He is the Fountain of Everlasting Life, and that He can raise you up from whatever is bringing you down? Do you know He lives? He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart!
