Psalm 25

2 Kings 18:17

Romans 3:24-26 (NIV)

Resurrection Sunday 2018

More than two thousand years ago, God's plan of redemption altered the world forever. The power of sin and death was broken through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ that first Easter. Death was defeated. True life, spiritual life, God's life triumphed.

As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced." Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. For "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!" Romans 10:11-15 NLT

The Lord doesn't only deliver us out of darkness into His marvelous light...graciously saving us from the punishment of our sins, but He also makes us part of His great work of sharing this great news with lost souls as we obey Him...doing what He has commanded us to do by living out this new lifestyle before our families and friends so that we can win them to Jesus. Thus, we can do so something that the angels themselves cannot do.

Today I want to ask a question: Do you know that there is something that we're privileged to do that the angels are not privileged to do? There is something that we're commanded to do that no angel has ever been commanded to do. Wow! That sounds like very important!

Matthew 9:35-39, John 4:35-47
