�� SCRIPTURE READING

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead… even so we also should walk in newness of life.” — Romans 6:4

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” — 1 Peter 1:3

��️ MEDITATION

The resurrection of Jesus Christ did not only bring Him back to life—it opened the door for new life for every believer.

Before encountering Christ, humanity was spiritually dead because of sin. But through the resurrection, God made it possible for believers to experience a completely new beginning.

This is the mystery: when a person believes in Christ, the old life is buried and a new life begins.

The resurrection power of Jesus gives believers a new heart, new desires, and a new direction.

The past no longer defines the believer. Failures, mistakes, and brokenness do not determine the future.

Through Christ’s resurrection, a new identity and a new purpose are given.

Because Jesus lives, believers can walk daily in renewal, transformation, and hope.
