Living The Resurrection Life | Short Sermon Series
“It is finished.” Everyone’s heard this line before, but we often forget that what Jesus did on the cross is eternal. It IS finished - not was or will be finished - and we are free!
God has already made us righteous and the same power that conquered the grave is alive in us today. So instead of just talking about this resurrection power, it’s time we started walking out the life Jesus died to give us.
But sometimes it’s hard to take hold of what He has given because there are many things distracting us by trying to act as though it is bigger than what He has given. This is why we have to continue to press on and not look back. Jesus died for us and we aren’t going to let something stop us just because it’s difficult. Press on and take hold of what He did, and we’ll see God change what’s difficult in our lives as we build a legacy! (Just as Paul pressed on in Phil. 3)
Jesus came for you, and shed His blood for you. He took all your shame, guilt and failure upon the cross. So even if you don’t like your past, you CAN rewrite your future! He has set you free to live the resurrection life and all you have to do is take hold of it. There is no more price to pay, because Jesus has already paid it all on the cross for you.
