Stop treating resurrection power like a history lesson.
It’s a present-day reality.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

reading ecclesiastes in the bible is such a humbling experience because the whole book basically keeps reminding you that most of the things we stress about don’t actually matter the way we think they do.

[Sarah Salviander @sarahsalviander]

The gospel of John opens with the Logos creating the universe and ends with Him grilling fish for breakfast for his disciples. It also adds a quick note that if everything Jesus did had been written down, there wouldn't be enough room in the whole world for all the books.

Powerful enough to create a universe and do endless deeds, but relatable enough to grill up breakfast for friends. That is our God.

When Satan tempted Jesus, He could have asserted His divine identity by saying, “Don’t you know I am the Son of God?”
But He didn’t.
Instead, He responded with the words, “It is written.”

In that moment, He was teaching us something powerful:
Our authority doesn’t come from titles, emotions, or spiritual experiences — it comes from the Word of God.

The Word is our reference point, our weapon, and our anchor.
If Jesus, the Son of God, used scripture to confront the enemy, how much more should we?

Let the Word dwell in us richly.
Because when life presses us, what’s written should be what comes out.

Every time you are confronted with fear, tell Satan:
“It is written — God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

When you feel weak, declare:
“It is written — I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

When the enemy tries to condemn you, stand firm and say:
“It is written — there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

When lack surrounds you, speak with confidence:
“It is written — the Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.” (Psalm 23:1)

As an astrophysicist, I was convinced of a Creator by the ingenuity of the observable universe; but I have to admit that biology is even more convincing. The incredible machinery of a living cell is far more complex than the structure of an entire galaxy of stars.

I went back to read the resurrection accounts of Matthew and John this morning and noticed something interesting. The first words out of Jesus’ mouth after the resurrection were “go tell my brothers.” And it brought me to tears.

Matthew 28:10. Read it slowly. The stone has just rolled back. Death has just been defeated for the first time in human history. The most consequential moment in the cosmos has just occurred. And the risen King opens his mouth and calls us brothers.
But Matthew alone might not stop you.

So go to John 20:17, where he tells Mary what to tell them:

“I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
He does not say “the Father.” He does not say “God.” He says MY Father is now YOUR Father. MY God is now YOUR God.

He rises and the first thing he does is redistribute the inheritance.

This is where most people misread the resurrection. They treat it as a power demonstration. Jesus proved he was God. Jesus showed death who was boss. And those things are true but they are not the point. The point is what he did with the power once he had it.

Because what I have learned in my few years on earth is that when men have power, the immediate instinct is to reclassify.

The people who were their peers become subordinates. The people who called you brother now call you sir. We have seen it in offices, in governments, in churches. Elevation changes vocabulary.

The higher a man rises the lonelier the pronoun “we” becomes.

Jesus rose to the highest position in the universe and his vocabulary did not change. He came back and said brothers. He said your Father. He said our God. He reclassified upward. He used his exaltation not to press us into subjects but to pull us into sons.

This is the actual consequence of the resurrection: ADOPTION. A dead savior cannot make you a son. A dead elder brother cannot bring you into the family. He had to conquer death because brothers share in each other’s life and he could not give us what he had not first secured himself.

Romans 8:29 calls him the firstborn among many brothers. Firstborn means there are others coming. You are not a spectator of his resurrection. You are its intended outcome.

The crowned King looked across the infinite chasm between his holiness and your humanity and the word he chose was not “subject.” It was not “servant.” It was not even “beloved.”
He said brother.

On the other side of death, with all authority in heaven and earth, he said brother.

So celebrate today for everything it is. Celebrate the empty tomb, celebrate the vindication of a man the world tried, condemned, and buried, and whom heaven refused to leave in the ground. Celebrate the sins that are gone and the immeasurable, uncontainable, universe-rearranging power of God on full display.

But do not miss the most beautiful thing.

He did not just cancel your debt. He gave you a name. He did not just acquit you. He adopted you. Forgiveness would have been everything. Sonship is more than everything. And he gave us both.

The risen King called us brothers. That means the Father he returned to is the Father we are returning to. That means the glory he walked into is the glory we are walking toward. That means Easter is not just the day Jesus won.
It is the day you inherited everything he won it for.

Hallelujah! He is risen.

Scholar Jeremiah Johnston argues the Shroud of Turin is authentic, citing extensive research and scientific study, including testimony from a former skeptic

“I went from skeptic to believing in it based on the science…”

My daughter's current favorite book is 10 pages long and I have read it approximately 4,000 times this month. She knows every word. She still wants it again.

Toddlers do this because repetition is how their brain learns. Each time they hear the same story, the neural connections for language and comprehension get a little stronger. They are not bored of the book. Their brain is still getting something out of it. The words become more familiar, the patterns become more predictable, and that predictability feels good to a brain that is still figuring out how the world works.

This is also why toddlers love routine in general. Same bedtime ritual, same order of events, same songs, same foods, etc. Predictable sequences help their brain organize information and most importantly, feel safe.

The repetition that drives you crazy is exactly what they need.

Jesus taught us that being complacent isn’t the way.

Being Christian doesn’t mean being weak.

Yes, we are empathetic, merciful and compassionate.

But we also need to stand up for what’s right, as long as it honours Him.

[Clarissa @ClarissaGlamGod]

We spend 4 hours a day staring at a screen and 4 minutes a day staring at a Scripture, then wonder why we can't hear God. You aren't spiritually dry, you’re spiritually dehydrated because you're drinking from the sewer of the world.

I thought this post from Instagram was beautiful, so I’m sharing here.

This morning when I opened my Bible, God led me to Psalm 17.
And I don’t know who this is for, but I know I was told to share it.
Psalm 17 is David asking God to examine his heart, protect him, and defend him not because he’s perfect, but because he’s trying to walk uprightly in a world that keeps testing him.

Quick observation... the Bible’s most powerful men all had a season where life looked like a complete disaster. Pit. Prison. Furnace. Desert. Turns out God builds legends in ugly places.
