Today is Resurrection Sunday and it brings back memories from when I was young. Yes there were frilly dresses and Easter hats but my memories are full of the songs of Resurrection. They live in my mind although they are not sung today. One that comes to mind is….
Alive, alive, alive forever more, my JESUS is alive, alive forever more. Alive, alive, alive forever more, my JESUS is alive, alive forever more. Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah, my JESUS is alive forever more. . Sing Hallelujah, sing Hallelujah, my JESUS is alive.
JESUS being alive means many things… for one it guarantees believers in HIM too will be resurrected. But lets look at another aspect.
“Wherefore HE (JESUS) is able also to save them to the uttermost (completely and forever) that come unto GOD by HIM, seeing HE (JESUS) ever liveth (lives forever) to make intercession for them (Hebrews 7:25).
“For by one offering HE hath perfected forever them that are (being) sanctified (changed into JESUS likeness)” (Hebrews 10:14).
Being JESUS is alive, raised from the dead, if we have come to GOD by HIM (confessed that JESUS is LORD and that GOD raised HIM from the dead and called on the name of the LORD-Romans 10:9-10,13) we can be sure we will live forever with HIM because HE is interceding on our behalf and we are thus being changed into HIS likeness (Romans 8:29).
It is the most amazing thing!
