We are all longing for Jesus to draw near to us so that we can be comforted and encouraged. We are all in desperate need of a redeemer who will overcome sin and death. And now by the Glory of Christ, He is the One who paid the debt we couldn’t pay. He is the One who completely fulfilled all that was promised. He is the only One who can open our eyes. He is the One who is risen indeed.
The resurrection of Christ is central to the gospel message. After the resurrection, Jesus appeared to many people. It makes no sense to say that Jesus rose from the dead if there is no resurrection of the dead. But Christ has been raised from the dead.
