The Lord’s Resurrection
The Lord’s crucifixion was
an arrangement for saving
us all, throughout Holy
Week, we confessed the
Lord Jesus’ power saying
the different hymns and
prayers. By the power of
His Divinity, the Lord God
was victorious
over death. In
His death, the
Lord
Christ
saved those who
rested in hope.
The Lord opened
the
gates of
Paradise so that
Adam and his
sons may enter.
The resurrection
is one of the
major evidences
that
Jesus
Christ is the
Son of God. The
Lord
Christ's
resurrection
confirmed
all He said and fulfilled all
His prophecies. By His
power, He came out of the
closed tomb and trampled
death by death. The Lord
ascended into the heavens
with a great power. He rose
for us to clothe us with
the new man and grant us
eternal life when we follow
His words. Therefore, we
rejoice in the resurrection
of the Lord Christ for He
abolished death, and gave
us the promise to be like
Him. The resurrection of the
Lord Christ was a promise
towards our resurrection
and the first-fruits of it. Our
Lord Jesus Christ, who is
all power, the Pantocratort,
also grants power to our
beautiful church and its
45
congregation.
The
power
of
the
Resurrection is obvious
in the life of the church’s
saints. For example, Saint
George given great power
by God, was able to rip
the
emperor’s
decree.
Likewise, Saint
Stephen scolded
the Jews for not
understanding
the scripture and
the prophecies.
Also, the 21
martyrs of Libya
received death
but eternal life
with Christ, and
they did not fear
it, on the contrary
they were very
strong
and
courageous. It is
the power of God
that worked in
them and is what also should
work in us. In the Glorious
Feast of Resurrection, we
ask the Lord God to grant
us spiritual power to defeat
the evil one.
