One of the most difficult parts of being in a living relationship with Jesus, are those moments when you can literally feel the sacrifice of obeying God. Moments that remind you that obedience isn’t always going to be easy or simple or pain-free.
Let’s go beyond the fact that Jesus came out of the grave and consider why the resurrection actually matters. More than that, what does it mean to us personally? The resurrection of Jesus was the most momentous event in history. By rising from the dead to return to eternal power at the right hand of the Father, Jesus fulfilled a vital part of the plan of God that has paramount importance to the life and future of every human being.
Jesus went to the cross with our cries for a Saviour, Hosanna, Osanna, Hoshiya na, ringing in His ears. He would answer those cries for salvation before the week was out when He breathed His last breath and bowed His head saying “It is finished.” Jesus wasn’t interested in saving Himself. He was interested in saving you.
