Many times we just look at the historical facts of the resurrection of Jesus Christ without realizing the profound implications. The profound implications of the risen Lord are hope and joy. 1 Corinthians 15:16-17, "For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ be not raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins." Our hope and joy is that we are so identified with Christ through His death that we must be raised as He was. The resurrection of Christ is the guarantee that we will be resurrected. Anytime you feel the storms of life overcoming you, remind yourself of who you are in Christ. Supreme joy is ours. We have Christ for all eternity! Christians are the only people in the world who can say, "O death, where is your victory? O death where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). What unfathomable hope and joy is ours!
