On Sunday April 12, 2019, we celebrated Easter. In Easter, we, the Christians, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the greatest event that ever happened in the history of humankind. It is the greatest because in it (the resurrection of our Lord), death – the ultimate enemy – was defeated.

Death defeated

Jesus defeated death as the greatest enemy of mankind. And through this, He gave man the right to receive eternal life by informed consent. We rejoice with a sound of hallelujah a thousand times over this victory that Jesus wrought for you and for me. This victory is for you and its only condition is in John 11:25: “I am the resurrection and the life, He that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live.” This condition or requirement needs you to personally participate in it. Imagine somebody invites you to his home, puts food on the table. You sit down. The next step would be to take a step and starting to eat. If you do not do this and simply look at the food, everyone including the person who invited you, starts to wonder what has happened to you!

In the same manner, Christ has invited us to his post-resurrection dinner party. In Mathew 11:28, He says: “Come unto me you that labour and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” You and I need to take a step of faith, as stipulated in Hebrews 11: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Your good works of righteousness or anything that you can do to please God will not work until you receive Him in your heart and acknowledge Him as your saviour. (Roman 10:10). Once you receive Christ and make him your saviour and God, it is done. And you have eternal life.
