Zombie Apocalypse

Scripture:

Matthew 27:52-53  "The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many".

Observation:

When Christ resurrected from the dead, death was defeated once and for all.  At His resurrection, many other saints also resurrected and entered the Holy City.  This must have been an incredible sight to everyone.  Today we would call this a zombie apocalypse.  Dead people were alive and walking the streets.  His resurrection was absolutely powerful and guarantees our resurrection and eternal life.

Application:

The resurrection and overthrow of death was so powerful that the saints of old were also resurrected.  we are called to live in the power of the resurrection in the New Testament.  We must realize the power of the resurrection and begin walking in that power.  We must realize that eternity is real and that what we do on this earth affects eternity for us and those around us.

Prayer:

Father, I want to live in the power of Christ's resurrection.  I don't mind the fellowship of His suffering, but I do want to see the resurrection power of God flowing in my life.  Teach me to walk in faith and by the power of the Holy Spirit more and more each day.

I am Yours,
Jeff
