"I serve a risen Savior. He's in the world today." That is
really the main point of the Easter message — and it is great good news. During
one of the morning worship services last Sunday one of our members who loves the
Lord and serves Him much joy and great devotion shared during the time of
testimonies that a few days ago, during the night, she experienced acute pain,
intense and unbearable. The pain continued through the late night and the
early morning. She testified that she cried unto the Risen Lord for healing
and deliverance. A miracle happened - the Risen Lord healed her that night.
She testified, "I know, that I know it was my Lord and Savior who touched me
and healed me". We all can join her declaring "Hallelujah, what a Savior" that
we worship and serve. We all can testify that our Lord has met us along the
life's narrow way. He is Risen and He is with us here and
now.
It is interesting how Paul told the resurrection story to the
Christians at Corinth. He first remembered the facts that Jesus had died for our
sins and was buried and on the third day he was raised. He recalls the times
when the risen Christ appeared to others. Then he recalled that the risen Christ
had appeared to him and changed his life and made him a servant of the way he
had once persecuted. Finally, he reminded the Corinthians that it was their
faith in the resurrection that brought them to fullness of life. They were now
representing the risen Christ because they were parts of the Church, the body of
Christ.
There have been many other chapters to that resurrection
story. Your life and mine can be part of that story. "He is in the world
today."
In Him and in His power,
Brown
