BraveMen S4E114: Resurrection / Life

Brave Men Podcast - A podcast by Paul Louis Cole

You're gonna love this short Easter devo. Jesus said in John, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they (people everywhere) may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the fullest, letting it overflow, a better life than they ever dreamed of!)” He said he came to give us life to the fullest! Today on BraveMen we talk about Easter and the victory of the Cross! A few months earlier Jesus walked into Bethany where his friend Lazarus had just died and he was accosted by Martha, Lazarus's sister. She said, "If you had been here sooner my brother wouldn't have died!" Jesus told her that Lazarus would live again. She took that to mean in the end time resurrection. But Jesus meant RIGHT NOW. Jesus said, "You don't have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live.” Jesus is always about "Right Now!". He has defeated death, defeated satan and forever destroyed the works of the enemy – in your life. Personally. In your life Jesus has defeated despair, anger, anxiety, fear, temptation, disappointment, discouragement, selfishness and jealousy. Easter is not about waiting for something someday somehow somewhere ... but living your best life in Christ TODAY!
