MFM Daily Devotional 24 June 2023 MESSAGE
In the Gospel according to Matthew 16:21. Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hand of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law. He told them He would be killed and would rise up on the third day. He came to give life and give it abundantly.
What does resurrection mean? It is the act of arising from the dead and becoming alive again. It is the hope that when we die, we will not experience the second death, according to the book of Revelation. This is because Jesus had tasted death for all that have trusted their lives to Him. Jesus was raised from the cloud to be the first fruit of the faithful. The resurrection proves that Jesus is still with us and is guiding us every day. It also proves that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God. Everything he said and did was true.
By His perfect sacrifice of dying on the cross, Jesus saved us from sin. However, it is through His resurrection that we will ultimately have an eternal relationship with God. Knowing Jesus as the resurrection and the life means having the hope and security that Jesus will always be there for us to give a comprehensive answer to our pain, grief and disappointment.
In John 11, we read about a man called Lazarus who was dying. Lazarus, Martha and Mary were great friends of Jesus; they sent a message to Jesus to tell him Lazarus was severely ill. Martha and Mary expected Jesus to arrive very quickly as Lazarus’ condition grew worse. Jesus didn’t appear until Lazarus had died. By the time Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had been buried for 4 days. Despite the situation, Jesus rose Lazarus up from the dead. He conquered death so that you and me can have life.
