Jesus is risen!  As Christians we need to realize that we died with Christ and we live with Him.  There is power in the resurrection of Jesus not just for the future, but in the present.  We do not fear death, sickness, persecutions, or tragedies in this life because we are alive in Christ Jesus and dead to our old selves.
