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

The most important thing about Jesus’ empty tomb is not just that he is alive, but also that he has risen from the dead. His win over death wasn’t temporary; it was permanent. Now, he lives to pray for us until he can come back and take us to his home. He hides our lives so that no one or nothing can take them away. When he comes back, we will be able to share in his glory that will never end. How could we not praise God for giving us so much?

Prayer

Almighty God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing and glorious grace, which has turned mortal pain into eternal victory. Thank you for what you did to make it happen. You are more amazing than I can say. You deserve more praise than the voices of all your children put together can say. Because he rose from the dead and is now Lord, my hope will last forever. All honor, glory, and power are yours forever and ever. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
