Revelation 1:17-18; Behold I am Alive Forevermore
Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Death is the greatest impasse for mankind. Man is born to die. None can escape. But for the Christians, we are born-again to live forevermore. This is what God wants us to see. When the Christian dies, the Bible says, he is asleep, one day, when Christ returns, he will awake again! Christ’s words are meant to rekindle the hope of eternal life in our hearts!
The resurrection is not just one aspect of the Christian faith but it is the cornerstone. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave is the greatest event in history because it signifies the blessed truth of man’s redemption. It is why we worship and singing praises to God because it signify the reality of eternal life.
