Today, the gospel of Jesus Christ is still being preached all over the earth. Let’s see how our band of prayer eagles are responding to this divine mandate. And these signs shall follow them that believe In my name shall they cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues They shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
He that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believes not shall be damned. Now, Christ was raised from the dead by the Power of Resurrection.Īnd that Power is still available to us today, as believers.Īfter He rose from the dead, He gave us this charge:Īnd he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. It comes down finally to this: if Jesus was not raised from death, Christianity is a fraud and a joke if he did rise from death, then Christianity is the fullness of God’s revelation, and Jesus must be the absolute center of our lives. None of that does justice to the novelty and sheer strangeness of the Biblical message. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, all bishops, priests, and Christian ministers should go home and get honest jobs, and all the Christian faithful should leave their churches immediately.Īs Paul himself put it: “If Jesus is not raised from the dead, our preaching is in vain and we are the most pitiable of men.” It’s no good trying to explain the resurrection away or rationalize it as a myth, a symbol, or an inner subjective experience. “The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the be-all and the end-all of the Christian faith. Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire puts it quite bluntly: Let that same Power of Resurrection that raised JESUS CHRIST from the dead… begin to quicken every “dead” area of your life and breathe life anew into y ou and your loved ones… And let the resurrection light shine upon every dark area of your life…ģ.
