"A New Song" April 2023
DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY: “Results of the Resurrection”
Some two thousand years ago the angels of God declared to the disciples, “He is not here: for He has risen as He said.” (Mark 16). Later on, the apostle Paul said, “Now is Christ risen!” (I Corinthians 15:20). We would like to add one more statement, “CHRIST IS RISEN: NOW WHAT?”
v CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WE HAVE SALVATION. Mind you, there was a time when we did not have salvation. Really, no one had salvation until Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross. The writer to the Book of Hebrews states clearly, “without shedding of blood is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). St. John says the very same thing, “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.” (I John 1:7). So, all the saints of the Old Testament did not have their sins taken away---they had them covered with the blood of bulls and goats, but none of their sin was gone until Jesus shed His blood on the cross. That is why the veil in the temple was not torn in two until Jesus paid for the sins of the whole world for all time. Christ is risen, now we have salvation. (Acts 2:24,32; Ephesians 1:19,20; I Peter 1:3,4).
v CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WE HAVE JUSTIFICATION. When Jesus was raised from the dead, it was proof positive that God had accepted His death for our sins and that the price was paid in full. That is why the apostle declared He “was raised for our justification.” (Romans 4:25). It also means that we can add nothing to His death, that by Himself He paid the price and was raised to prove the debt of our sins was paid. That is, we can do nothing to help take away our sins, Jesus paid it all! To Him goes all the praise. (Romans 5:9,10; Acts 16:31).
v CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WE HAVE PRESERVATION. That is, because Jesus is alive He is able to provide and protect all His people. We are safe and secure in the Arms of Jesus! We need never fear or wonder about our security in Jesus. In Hebrews 7:25 God says that Jesus can “save them unto the UTTERMOST.” That verse is talking about time, so you could say “uttermost of time.” That is why God called it, “everlasting” life. (John 3:16; John 3:18). I’m so glad that I don’t have to worry and wonder if, at last, I will be saved. Christ is risen, alive watching over our soul we have entrusted with Him. Because Christ lives forever, I am going to also live forever! (John 11:25,26; John 10:28,29; John 5:24).
v CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WE HAVE ANTICIPATION. Someday, if the Lord tarries, I am going to die. They are going to bury my body. My spirit and soul will go immediately to be with Jesus, but my body will be buried out there in the cemetery. But, because Jesus’ body was raised from the grave, so shall my body, and the bodies of all my loved ones in Christ, be raised. The same mighty power of God that raised Jesus is going to raise up my body also! I look forward to that great resurrection day. (I Thessalonians 4:14; II Corinthians 4:14; II Corinthians 5:17).
v CHRIST IS RISEN! NOW WE HAVE DEDICATION. Dedication to tell others about the risen Christ so that they may find salvation just as we did when someone told us. St. Peter declared on the day of Pentecost, “This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.” (Acts 2:32). If Jesus was still in the grave, we would have nothing to say---there are all sorts of religious founders smoldering in the grave. Not much to preach about there. But when our Founder came forth from the grave alive and powerful, it was a message for the world to hear. So, because Jesus is risen, we are compelled to tell others. It is our obligation because the Risen Christ told us to, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,” Jesus also said, in the same breath, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world, Amen.” (Matthew 28:19,20). Because Christ is risen, we all need to dedicate ourselves to that command. (Romans 12:1,2).
And there you have the heart of Christian Worship Hour, to tell the whole world about the risen Christ and His power to save. And, can you believe it, because of satellite, internet and short wave radio, we are sending the message of salvation to the entire world! And, brother, sister, you are a part of the team! The minute you pray for this ministry, and tell others about it, and give financially to the cause, be it little or much, you are a part of the team and a vital part of fulfilling Christ’s command!
So thanks to each of you. We pray that God will be pleased with our efforts and that He will take it, and use it, to His glory!
God bless you!
In our Savior’s love,
Pastor Salem
