Easter is the cornerstone of our Christian faith. The Resurrection of Jesus is God’s powerful victory over sin and death, calling us into new life. Let’s reflect on what it means for us today through these three questions.

Do I truly believe Jesus rose from the dead as a historical and transformative truth?  

C.S. Lewis challenges us to consider the identity of Jesus seriously—He is not merely a great teacher but Lord and God, proven by His resurrection. If Jesus didn’t rise, His claims fail; but if He did, everything changes.  

Scripture:  

Luke 24:6-7 — "He is not here, but has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise."

How does Christ’s victory over sin and death impact my life now and for eternity?  

The resurrection conquered the "last enemy," death, and freed us from sin's penalty. Through Jesus, death’s sting is gone, and eternal life is ours as a gift of God’s grace.  

Scripture:  

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 — "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable... ‘Death has been swallowed up in victory.’ Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Am I living in the new life Jesus offers through His resurrection?  

Easter is not only about life after death but transformation here and now. Through resurrection power, we are made new and called to live holy, vibrant lives that reflect Christ’s love and grace.  

Scripture:  

Romans 6:4 — "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."

Closing Thought:  

C.S. Lewis said, "The Resurrection means that the worst thing is never the last thing." May this truth anchor your hope and empower your daily walk.
