He is alive! He’s risen! Jesus lives! Up from the grave He arose! When Easter comes around, you hear many of these phrases from Christians. More than likely, you’ll see them posted on social media with images of the cross or an empty tomb. As powerful as those statements are, they are in third person. How much more powerful are they when spoken in the first person from the lips of Jesus Himself?

The living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore.

Revelation 1:17-18

Today’s passage is spoken by Jesus. It’s not one of the disciples saying, “He is alive!” It’s the Son of God Himself stating the truth – and that’s a powerful testimony! The apostle John heard this straight from His Lord – and you can, too! “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

Jesus is alive and sits at the right hand of God. Give thanks today for your risen Savior. You serve a God who lives in your life and in the lives of Christ-following Americans. Pray that your national leaders will hear the truth from the Almighty – in first person.
