Easter: John 20 Tombs now have exits

Are you living as though death still has the last word in your life? Are your doors locked to secure you from the dangers of this world? The whole purpose of Jesus coming that we might have life and his victorious resurrection is that he now has the last word. Tombs have exits not just entrances. He has come that you might have life--now go and live.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
