Resurrection: Celebrating Life in Jesus

Resurrection: Celebrating Life in Jesus Christ is risen – He is resin indeed! Hallelujah!! Easter is a celebration of life in Christ, as it signifies the day of his resurrection from the dead.  Resurrection of Christ is indeed a founding principle to our faith in God. By dying Jesus destroyed death, and by raising Jesus restored life. Resurrection represents the triumphal victory and life in Jesus Christ.

Yes, according to the Scriptures, Christ died for our sins and was buried, on the third day God raised him from the dead (Acts 5:30) .     The resurrection of Jesus is important for several reasons as it witnesses to the immense power of God Himself.

Ambassadors for Christ Terminology   Generally speaking, an ambassador is a representative of a nation, sent to a foreign land.

It was carefully conceived by Jesus with certain precise ends.     He taught this prayer to his disciples in such a way that it would pass through ages, without suffering alterations.  The Lord’s Prayer is the same forever and ever, as it fits in all situations and circumstances. It helps us to outline an accurate path towards God.  The opening words “Our Father,” defines the relationship between God and the person praying.  Our God is our Father on whom our whole existence depends.

Therefore the Lord’s Prayer is considered as a uni
