“Why Resurrection Matters and How It Gives Hope"
Today's Devotional 4-20-2025
Because He rose, we can rise—above fear, above failure, and even above the sting of death.
The cross was the altar, but the empty tomb is the victory. The resurrection of Jesus is not a footnote in the story of salvation—it is the hinge upon which all hope swings.
Without the resurrection, we do not just lose a celebration—we lose our foundation.
✨ "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3 KJV)
The apostle Paul writes with clarity:
✨ "If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." (1 Corinthians 15:13–14 NIV)
Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, declares to the world that death does not get the final word. It is the divine exclamation point at the end of Christ’s earthly mission.
✨ “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate His righteousness...” (Romans 3:25 NIV)
Through the resurrection:
Sin is not just paid for—it is conquered.
Death is not just faced—it is defeated.
Life is not just endured—it is renewed.
This means Christ didn’t rise alone—He rose first. And where He goes, we who believe shall follow.
✨ “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
(1 Corinthians 15:20)
And today, this resurrection gives us hope.
Hope that the worst thing is never the last thing.
Hope that our tears are not wasted.
Hope that even in the dark, light is breaking through.
Hope that brokenness can be mended, that dead dreams can breathe again, and that joy is still possible even after deep sorrow.
Because He rose, we can rise—above fear, above failure, and even above the sting of death.
Why does Resurrection matter?
It proves that love is stronger than death, that truth will rise no matter how deeply buried, and that every believer stands in the shadow of a risen King who is not finished with our story.
As believers we must live each day with resurrection boldness.
Today and every day we should give reverence to our
Risen Savior; Thank Him for the cross, and thank Him for the empty tomb.
In a world that often feels lifeless and weary, may His resurrection power stir new life in us. To help us live not as one defeated by death, but as one raised with Christ—full of hope, joy, and unwavering faith.
Happy Resurrection Sunday 🌿
Have a Supernaturally Fabulous Day on Purpose ❤️
