Christ rising was the most memorable Sunday in history

If you value peace and prosperity of soul, you will not neglect to pray. It is prayer that keeps us up above the clouds and brings heaven down. It is not those who have plenty of time to pray that do the most praying, but they who take the time. 

O God! Take our hearts and compress within them that pure love from thine own heart that will cause us to pray. 

Listen to God’s word and obey what you hear, then you will have a message to give to others. Open your ears to God before you open your mouth to others. 

If Jesus was one with the Father the question cannot be argued, seeing that Jesus apart from the Father is not a conceivable idea. 

If ye be risen (have life) with Christ, seek those things which are above. Those that, coming into our soul daily, will unfold us more into a heavenly life. You have a desire for prayer; then grant that desire by actually praying, or you will lose the desire. An appetite once lost is difficult to regain. You may have in your soul a pure notice, more devotional to God. 

Christ rising was the most memorable Sunday in history. 

To Mary of Magdala, was given the honor of being the first among mortals to witness a resurrected soul. 

“I am the resurrection, and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die” (John 11:25-26). 

No human hand was to be permitted to touch the Lord’s resurrected and immortalized body until after He had presented Himself to the Father. There was about Him a divine dignity that forbids close personal familiarity. 

Christ did ascend to the Father and later returned to earth to continue His ministry in the resurrected state. 

But after His resurrection, He did eat and drink with them, as He was flesh, although as to His Spirit He was united to the Father. 

“Touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brother, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and my God” (John 20:17). 

In a sense, the resurrection and ascension form the conclusion of the final visit to Jerusalem. 

The resurrection was the demonstration of the divinity of Christ, and the confirmation of the Christian hope. 

In fact, it may be said that such a view is involved in the doctrine of the resurrection, for the very idea of that victory was that death had no more dominion over Him. 

The resurrection further proved that day and night manifest a resurrection to us. The night lies down, and the day arises; again, the day departs, and the night comes on. 

For having received their command and being thoroughly assured by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and convinced by the Word of God, with the fullness of the Holy Spirit, they went abroad, publishing, that the kingdom of God was at hand. 

That he might set up token for all ages through His resurrection, to all His holy and faithful servants, whether they be Jews or Gentiles, in one body of His church.
