Devotion By A.W. Tozer
Scripture: Be establish in the present truth….2 Peter 2:12
The resurrection of Christ and the fact of the empty tomb are not a
part of this world’s complex and continuing mythologies. This is not a Santa
Claus tale – it is history and it is reality.
The true Church of Jesus Christ is necessarily founded on the belief
and the truth that there was a real death, a real tomb and a real stone!
But, thank God, there was a sovereign Father in Heaven, an angel sent
to roll the stone away, and a living Saviour in a resurrected and a glorified
body, able to proclaim to His disciples, “All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18)
Brethen, He died for us, but ever since the hour of the Resurrection,
He has been the mighty Jesus, the might Christ, the mighty Lord.
Our business is to thank God with tearful reverence for the cross, but
to go on to the right understanding of what the resurrection meant both to God
and to men. We understand and acknowledge that the Resurrection has placed a
glorious crown upon all of Christ’s suffering!
Prayer: Lord, I praise you that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a
fact and not a fable. Because He lives, I have real purpose in this life, and I
can look forward to the life hereafter.
