REFLECTION: RISEN, RESURRECTED, RAISED UP AGAIN FOR US ALL
My first visit to Auckland was in 2006 for the PCANZ General Assembly. My
host, a retired minister, also provided transport for me daily. On the first
night, going home, he took a wrong turn and we ended up in a large cemetery. To be honest I was quite anxious as we drove around the graves in the
dark. He assured me that he’d been there many times before and knew the
way out. The problem is, not everyone gets out of that kind of place alive.
Noone gets out of planet earth alive either! Well there are exceptions. Some
people in the scriptures were raised from death (like Lazarus), only to die
again later. Except for Jesus of Nazareth. The certainty and validity of the
resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our Christian faith. Paul puts it like
this: “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Cor 15:17-19). Similarly, Peter, in one of his sermons in Acts, said this: “We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.
They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead
on the third day and caused him to be seen” (Acts 10:39-40). In fact all the
sermons that we have recorded in the New Testament are about the
resurrection and Jesus being alive. I find this a great source of joy and peace
as I think of those whom I have lost over the years. May this be so for you
too. Every blessing this Easter.
The Lord has risen indeed.
