Today around the world Christians have celebrated the resurrection of Christ. Without the resurrection the birth and death of Christ do not hold much importance. It is through the resurrection that Christ conquered death and brought us new life. Through the day today my mind has repeatedly returned to what the resurrection really means to my life.
I went to two different church services today and I walked away uninspired. The services were fine, and the content of the messages was okay, but as I sat in the services I listened to hear a message that God had changed lives, that the resurrection really made a difference, and that people were so deeply in love with Christ that there was nothing better in the world. I didn’t hear it. You see I am tired of listening to sermons about Jesus, singing songs about Jesus, talking about Jesus, and not living a life for Jesus. I want to be a part of something where people are inspired and in love with God. I want to be a part of something where we stop looking at ourselves and serving ourselves and giving our lives up for someone or something else. Over the last few months God has so dramatically changed my life and I can’t be quiet about it any longer. I can’t sit still and not live a life that is sold out and surrendered to God.
So, what does the resurrection mean to you? Is your life different because of it, or are you living a life that doesn’t testify of God to others? Can others see that your life has changed or that you are different from non-Christians because of your relationship with Christ?
