'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...' (1 Peter 1:3).

No event has changed the trajectory of history like the resurrection of Jesus.

Many still do not realize this--yet.

But for those who believe, the fact Christ was raised from the dead is life-changing.

On a personal level, today.

Not only because it assures the forgiveness of sins and promise of eternal life...

But completely reorients the focus of our daily existence.

As offspring of Adam, we are born into this world grasping for survival and happiness according to our own understanding.

But as sons and daughters of the second Adam--Jesus--by faith, we've been remade.

We are heirs of the Father's kingdom.

Part of His family business.

Positioned to serve with joy.

It's Christ's victory over the grave that makes this possible.

Without the resurrection, we may as well make eating and drinking our focus, for tomorrow we die.

But because of the resurrection, there's a kingdom to advance.

And as those resurrected with Him, we are able to walk in the newness of His life.

This reality has changed the trajectory of the world.

And it's what gives ongoing hope and purpose on Resurrection Monday--the day after Easter.

Happy Easter!
