A dead Jesus cannot carry the burden of our efforts.
3. We Feel Forgotten.
Finally, when we forget that Jesus is alive, we feel forgotten. Let’s turn the question around for a moment—if Jesus has been raised from the dead, once and for all time, what is He spending His raised and eternal life doing? The Bible gives us this answer:
Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them. (Heb. 7:25)
What a glorious thought, that Jesus—once dead and now alive forever more—Jesus is right now interceding for us. No matter what happens in this life, no matter what job we lose, no matter what relationship ends, no matter how many people turn their back on us, we are not forgotten. Jesus has taken up our case.
Jesus is alive, friends. Let us today, and every day, remind ourselves of this fact that changes everything.
