It is Easter morning, and He has risen! Today, we celebrate not only the resurrection of Jesus but also our identity in Him. Through Christ’s victory over sin and death, we are transformed—no longer defined by our past but marked by His righteousness, grace, and new life. Our identity is now hidden securely with Christ, and our hearts are set on heavenly realities. Let's embrace our newness in Him, fully alive, and deeply anchored in His resurrection power.

Scriptures

2 Corinthians 5:21 -

“God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”

Ephesians 2:4-6 –

"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus."

2 Corinthians 5:17 -

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Colossians 3:1-4 -

“Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."

The spaces in between the busy times allow us to find rest and restoration. It can be uncomfortable when we are not sure what is going to happen next, but you expect that something new is on the horizon! Enter rest with the Lord today as you wait in anticipation Christ's return!

Scriptures

Mark 6:31-32 –

“And he said to them, 'Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.' For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves."

Psalm 46:10 –

“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth!”

Isaiah 40:31 –

“But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary;

they will walk and not faint. For the Lord will renew their strength.”

Psalm 23:1-3 –

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.

I could imagine how crushing it was for Jesus’ disciples and family to watch him die. In that moment it looked like darkness won and they didn’t know that resurrection was on the other side of death. Jesus gave his disciples a promise and though they couldn’t understand or see how it could be possible, it didn’t make it any less true. Many of you are battling spiritual warfare and it looks like darkness is winning, but spiritual warfare does not void out the promises God has made to you. Those promises were made out of love, and love believes all things and hopes all things. Today’s meditation is about focusing on God’s promises when things look bleak.

Scriptures

2 Corinthians 4:8-10

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.”

1 Corinthians 13:7

“Love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Romans 6:4

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
