His Three Days Were Our Three Days

Today we're celebrating that we are well because of the will of the Father and the successful giving and rescuing acts of Jesus Christ. It is finished! And we live in grace and peace with God.

As we were brought into Him at the cross (Romans 6:1-11), so we were in Him in His resurrection. His three days were our three days. When He was crucified, we were crucified. When He was buried, we were buried. When He was raised, we were raised. We're new. We’re secure. We’re in Him and He is in us.

“Made like Him, like Him we rise! Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! Alleluia!”

He is Risen! And in Him, so are we!

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6-7

For always and forever, we will be the evidence of His stunning love and ability. Isn’t that fantastic?

If that's what we'll be throughout the ages, we might as well start getting used to it now—don't you think?

Happy Easter!
