Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Risen with Christ. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians three one. The wise believer revels in the fact of Christ's resurrection.
Some things in Scripture may be easier to identify with and apply, including Christ's substitutionary death, but it is the resurrection that gives us power to live victoriously. Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. We have been crucified with Him that the body of sin might be destroyed. Nevertheless, we are risen with Him, as our text and elsewhere clearly teaches. This resurrection is an inward one, of course, but our bodily resurrection is also guaranteed by Christ's bodily resurrection, should we physically die, knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus.
Power to serve Him effectively comes through His resurrection, for we have access to the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which we wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. We have authority over all human and demonic institutions through him who even now operates as head of the living church of his followers. Perhaps the most precious of all benefits of the resurrection is that we have a great high priest that has passed into the heavens who is sympathetic to the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
