The Kitchen Table Devotions

“The Resurrection”

Day 17

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.                      Philippians 3:10-11

To be a resurrection there must be a death.  It’s big and we will remember it.  Death is that way.  But this experience involves a choice and a craving to know life.  To know the life of Jesus we must follow the life of Jesus to a cross and an empty grave.  No excuses and no exceptions.  Death can’t hold back the one who wants to know life.  And Jesus holds the keys of life for anyone who wants to know Him.  We can’t know His life if we want to know this life.  His life is one that is resurrected and to know the power of the resurrection we must know the death to sin, self, sickness, and Satan believing that God in His great love will resurrect us to life.
