YOUR RESURRECTION

We have just finished celebrating the resurrection of 

Christ.  He not only died for us, but after three days

in the tomb he came back to life - or was resurrected -

NEVER TO DIE AGAIN.

Did you know that after you die, you too will be 

resurrected.  The Scriptures clearly teach us:

"... that there shall certainly be a resurrection

of both the righteous and the wicked."

(Acts 24:15 NASB)

They further teach us that it consists of a first and 

a second resurrection.  The first one is the resurrection

of the righteous.  These are the people who are in a

relationship with Jesus Christ.  And they will be raised

from the dead to live for ever and ever with Jesus Christ.

[The rapture and judgement are not a part of our discussion

right now.]

And the second resurrection is the one for the wicked.

But instead of living for ever with God, they will be

given an eternal death sentence away from the presence

of God in a place of eternal torment.

My point is this.

Christ's tomb is empty because he was raised to life

so that we to can be raised to life with him at our

resurrection if we have a relationship with Christ. 

I can rejoice over Christ's resurrection making possible

 my coming resurrection after this old body dies someday.
