The Power Of Jesus Resurrection
“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death”
(Philippians 3:10)
Christianity can’t exist without resurrection. The main difference of Christianity and other religions is the reality of resurrection. All other religions have founders who were born, lived and died only Christianity is worshiping Jesus who was not only born, who not only lived and died, but He rose again from the death.
A well known Easter song says: ” Christ is resurrected from dead, stepping with death over death and giving life to those laying in the tombs”. The apostle Paul says that there is no faith and hope without resurrection.
Our tendency is to put more accent on Christmas, because of the commercial aspect, but you can’t be a Christian without believing and without experiencing the resurrection.
The purpose of Paul was to know Jesus and to personally experience the power of Jesus resurrection.
The power of resurrection brings victory over sin. Is not only about forgiveness of the sins, but it’s about being victorious over the root of the sins, the sin itself. The resurrection is giving us power to be like Jesus, sinless and accepted by God.
Without the existence of the resurrection there is not salvation, because Jesus would have been only a good teacher, a kind man who died unjustlyand this is the end of the story.
Resurrection is showing us that Jesus’ sacrifice was accepted and the New Covenant is now valid.
The power of resurrection brings victory over death. The fear of death is the worst enemy of our happiness. We live our lives under this dark cloud death and our lives are affected dramatically by the fear of death. But since we know that Jesus was there and is victorious, we are no longer afraid to die with Him, because we know that we will be resurrected with Him.
The power of resurrection is the power to live. “And the life is worth to live, because He lives.” Many people don’t find a good reason to live, but the apostle Paul says he knows and pursue only one purpose and this is enough for him: TO KNOW JESUS.
Knowing Jesus is not the boring Sunday service, is not the boring and long sermon, but is a living relationship, a wonderful daily experience of His character, of His providence and of His love.
Why do you live? Is your life full of power and joy ? If not reconsider your position toward RESURRECTION and start living it’s experience in your life.

Beloved in Christ,
Greetings to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is Jachin Charley, I am 33 years old. I am from Jesus Gospel Ministry, Andhra Pradesh, India. I am so glad to meet you through this email. Thank you very much for taking time and reading this email. The Bible says in Proverbs 14 : 21 “ Blessed is he who is kind to the needy ” also in Psalm 112 : 9 “ He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor ” and we see in Luke 6 : 38 “ Give, and it will be given to you ” Beloved, in my Rustumbada village, so many poor people are staying in small huts. They don’t have proper food, cloths. Because of their poverty they are not having education. They are living in so much agony and pain. They don’t have medication. We have a burden about these poor people. We are giving them food, cloths and medicines. We are spending our own money to help them with love. Jesus Gospel Ministry started in the year 2006 on September 28. We are giving them Good News of Jesus. They are accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. We have a nice Church here in Rustumbada. Our church name is Bethel Church. Almighty God changing their lives. Please pray for these people. Please tell about us to your friends, relatives, church members and team members. God will bless you for all you do for His sake. He will give back to you in double measure. You want to pray and support for our ministry? God is speaking with you? According to God’s will prayerfully support our ministry in India.
