Jesus\\u2019 resurrection shows us the power of redemption. His empty grave is an invitation to new life, but this new life comes at a cost. If we want to have fellowship with Christ in His glorification, we need to have fellowship with Him in the cross. We must come to terms with the cross in order to know the resurrection life. Will you accept these terms? Will you accept the cost? Only through death and suffering comes life\\u2014this is the Resurrection message. The empty grave shows Christ\\u2019s triumph\\u2014and He calls us into this triumph. Our redemption came at a high price. We need to see the reality of such a price. It\\u2019s nothing that we can earn, or work for on our own. Be reminded of God\\u2019s provision for our redemption and His kindness towards us. Christ came to redeem us from our failures and faults. Rejoice in the fact that we\\u2019ve been redeemed\\u2014not by our own works or deeds\\u2014but by the precious blood of Christ. Realize your insufficiency to free yourself from sin. Jesus\\u2019s sacrifice is the means of our redemption. He had to die so that we might be healed. We too must experience death to ourselves in order to know life and so that others may know life through us. We must actively be a part of this death. Don\\u2019t be afraid to let go of your life, or to be transformed. The empty tomb assures us that letting go of self will give us abundant life. So leave behind your securities, comforts and habits, and become a part of what Christ is doing. Experience the newness that the resurrection creates in us. Daily walk in this experience of Christ\\u2019s renewal, His resurrection, His life, and His hope. Follow Jesus to His death, and He will birth life in you.
