Walking Dead

God has raised us! What a statement to rejoice in. This verse speaks of endless delights. It recalls to us the notion that we have been given new life, one that is joined to Christ in His heavenly realm. It’s a verse that tells of God’s great salvation to us! And it is here, hearing of our current blessings, that we too should reflect on where we once were. Those moments before we were raised and seated. Our days before the unbelievable intervention of Jesus.

     Many people will reference being simply “lost” before Christ’s salvation, however, this a word that pales before the reality of our condition. Having been raised we must recognize that we were once dead. In our sin, we were utterly lifeless. The road before us was not a wandering path without a map, but instead one desolate and determined for destruction. We had already drowned, sank, and lay without life in the depths. But praise God! He dove in and saw us motionless, and He sacrificed that we may live. It was there by the death and resurrection of Jesus our outcome was changed. In Him we could breathe again, in Him we were no longer dead, in Him we were raised up!

I pray today that you find great joy in the love of Jesus and know Him as your Savior. To have once been a corpse and to now have new life on this Earth, and beyond, is a miracle worth meditating on.
