The Cross is the Doorway to new life.
Yes. We pick it up each day and rise into the new life he created for us.
Jesus was three days in the tomb and then Resurrected.
Front-runner
Forerunner
Firstborn from among the dead.
Resurrected from the dead.
Then he ascended directly from earth to sit down at the right hand of the Father.
Jesus is the one person who changes everything about life, about now, about the future about everything we know, touch, think, feel.We are resurrected from the dead if buried with him. Romans 6:3-4
Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
through the glory of the Father,
we too may live a new life.
New creations.
New creatures.
We passed over from the dominion of darkness into the glorious dominion of Christ.
LORD of ALL Phil 2:9-11
Faithful Witness of the Father's will
King of the Kings of the EARTH. Rev 1:5
We have the mind of Christ. I Corinthians 2:16
Christ lives in us Col 1:27
We are to die daily and embrace the cross,
and then we are to rise and ascend with him.
Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
Luke 9:23
So do we walk around dead all day?
Some believer do.
They are so focused on themselves, their short-comings, their sins. With them as the focus they never put up smoke filled offerings.
We are living sacrifices Romans 12:1-2
We are risen with him to new life.
Put up some smoke.Get the places you live your life filled with smoke from the offerings you make as a living sacrifice.
In the Cross Christ put to death our sins by his blood.
In his resurrection he conquered death and erased it's sting forever.
Believers rightly focus on the cross.
But often we leave out the victory of the resurrection. Unless it's Easter.
The Resurrection is the game changer.
It is the new life offered to us in the power of the Spirit.
It is new mindsets and new ways of seeing the world through the inheritance of Jesus.
The resurrection is the new man loose on the earth.
The new man who is no longer a slave to sin.
The new man or woman is not preoccupied with defeating sin.
They are pre-ocuppied with living in the walk of the Spirit.
Sowing to the Spirit.
Walking in the Spirit
Living in the reality of the rule and reign of Jesus.
Dynamic Abundant life rooted and established in the love of Jesus is resurrection life.
Typically Christians rightly perceive the power of the Cross.
Typically they camp there and don't live in the power of resurrection.
Rarely do we hear about the power of Christ and the forever realities of him siting down at the Father's right hand.
The full circle of his power, love and inheritance, are three; the Cross, the Resurrection and the Ascension.
IT is FINISHED!
Nothing can shake the reality of his Kingdom which is here upon the earth and advancing daily.
The Gospel of the Kingdom includes all three in the power of the Spirit.
Paul says,
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. I Corinthians 15:14-17
Sin Death and the Devil were defeated in Christ through.....
The Cross
The Resurrection
The Ascension
All Three core realities of the work of Jesus making a complete inheritance for us in the Lord Jesus.
Don't get me wrong. The Cross is amazing. I never cease discovering the wonder of the Cross and the power it carried in defeating sin and setting us free. I die with him to live with him. My life is hidden in him, seated in the heavens, just like yours. It is discovered daily through the power of resurrection life.
The resurrection is the discovery of the new eternal life here and now upon the earth. A life filled with the power of his Kingdom rule and reign.
We are to be like him here and now. Not in some far off day. The true and real power of a Christian life is rooted in Christ through love and powered by the reality of resurrection life in us now.
Without the Resurrection and a clear sense that we are a Kingdom of priests, a holy nation unto the Lord, we can find ourselves stuck in sentimental cycles of powerless faith. Rather we are called to overcoming victory and power through Christ our LORD. Called as those who are walking the earth with a resurrected power and mindset.
