And yet there is still a little more. Not only does the resurrection serve as a guarantee of our own glorious resurrection one day to heavenly peace and splendour but as the catechism reminds us, we can look to the power which rose Jesus from the dead to already now raise to life a new form of life within us. Already now pushing death back. Already now overcoming that sense of distance between God and us. Already now giving us a very real divine presence in our lives.
Sin is the cause of destruction and death in life.
It was, ultimately, the power of sin that Jesus overcame with His resurrection. And it is the power of sin that Jesus overcomes in our lives today. He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, fellow believers, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
