The Life-Changing Power of the Cross and the Tomb

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me." John 14:6

The cross is empty and so is the tomb.
    You can try to bury Power, but it won't stay there.
    You can try to bury Truth, but it is not dead.
    You can try to bury Love, but it cannot be contained.   

Jesus is alive, He won the victory of sin and death.  And He's still the
same, even in all the days after the Easter weekend. He never changes. He
made a way for us to live free.

No other truth in history has the ability to change our lives and affect our
future like this. Yet so many still choose to reject Christ's sacrifice and
love. He offers us a choice today, and it's the best decision you could ever
make.

What Christ's Death on the Cross and the Power of His Resurrection Offers:
1.  It provides a bridge, a way, to God. 
It gives us an opportunity to have a personal relationship with the very God
who made us and loves us more than we could imagine. Without the cross,
there is no way to cross over to the other side of relationship with him.
Any attempt will fail. He is the Only Way.

2.  It provides opportunity for forgiveness of sin. 
Through the price that Jesus paid on Calvary, we have the chance to be
forgiven of our own sin. He took our sin and shame upon his very shoulders.
He took the blows on our behalf so we wouldn't have to suffer. Such
incredible love. Such amazing sacrifice.

3.  It provides freedom to all those who believe. 
Freedom from the shackles of sin. Freedom from shame. Freedom from fear.
Freedom from worry. Freedom from hopelessness. Freedom from despair. Freedom
from addiction. Freedom from guilt. Freedom from darkness and eternal
separation from God.

4.  It provides new life. 
We are not only forgiven and set free, but we have a whole new life and
destiny through Christ. We are changed, from the inside. He renews our
minds. He changes our hearts and desires. He gives us fresh purpose for
every day set before us.

5.  It provides power for us to live today. 
When Jesus died on the cross, and was buried, it didn't stop there. The
final picture of all that the cross provides lies in the powerful
Resurrection of our Lord. He won. He didn't stay dead. His power broke
through, and that same power is alive within us today. As believers, God
gives us the power of the Holy Spirit, living and moving through us each
day.

6.  It provides the way to have victory over the enemy. 
We don't have to fear him or his attacks. As we live aware of his traps, the
power of Christ over our lives gives us a covering and protection from his
evil schemes. We're not left to fend for ourselves. We don't fight in our
own strength. We can stand strong in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

7.  It provides for us an eternal heavenly home. 
We never need to fear about what will happen when we die. In Christ we have
been given the gift of eternal life. This earth is only our temporary home.
God is preparing a place for us, with him, to live forever. And you can be
assured it will be far greater than we could ever imagine.

"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ." 1 Cor.15:57

Dear God, thank you for your great gift of love and sacrifice, so that we
can live free. Thank you for the power of the cross and the Resurrection. We
ask that the truth of it all sinks deeply into our hearts and changes us
forever. Fill us fresh with your Spirit today. In Jesus' Name, Amen
