Podcast 40.2 (5.2 Replayed)
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 ESV
Jesus Christ is alive again. Because He lives, we have a living hope into which we have been born again. Our Father’s great mercy has accomplished this. Bless Him for raising Jesus and in so doing, giving us life and hope and peace.
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 ESV
What an incredible rhetorical question! What a remarkable statement of faith! Jesus’ body having perished, put on the imperishable, and in so doing, swallowed up death in victory. Even though we may die, we will live. Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28 ESV
He accomplished His Father’s will, and will come a second time, having dealt with sin, to save us. And who are we? Those who are eagerly waiting for Him. You may be waiting, but are you eager? Ask Him to make you eager.
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
You have victory over sin, death and the grave. You could never have accomplished this, but Jesus already did. Thank Him.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more.
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, be Resonant.
