From the Presbyter


Victory through the Risen Christ

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We are thankful to God for receiving one more year to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Through His resurrection Christ has conquered the three greatest enemies of mankind:

I. VICTORY OVER SIN

By His death on the cross of Calvary, Christ provided a way by which our sin can be removed; yet it is by His resurrection that God can declare us perfectly righteous in Him. Christ’s death and resurrection have provided the way - now we must believe it and accept Christ’s victorious provision. As believers in Christ, we can have daily victory over sin because of Christ’s resurrection.

II. VICTORY OVER SATAN

When Christ was crucified on Calvary, Satan thought he had finally accomplished his life-long purpose - to destroy God’s plan of salvation. And for three days Satan and his demons had a victory party! But early on the third morning, Christ rose from the dead, and Satan was defeated! He is a defeated enemy - he cannot have control over us, as long as we are controlled by the living Christ!

III. VICTORY OVER THE SECOND DEATH

As followers of Jesus Christ, we have no need to fear physical death, because we know that we cannot die spiritually. Jesus said to Martha in John 11:25, 26 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die [spiritually]. Do you believe this?’" Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, physical death to us is but an entrance into glory! The same VICTORY Christ has won over sin, Satan and the second death- can be ours as well through Him!

May God help us to lead a victories life through resurrected Christ.

Yours in His service,

Rev. Mathew P George
