What is the message today?
As the Apostle Paul put, He is risen and that is why we are who we are.
The real message is this, our understanding of what He did should move us to live according to the value that Christ has placed upon us.
Secondly, the value He placed upon us should not be kept passive or hidden, we have a mandate to tell the world that Christ is risen and with his resurrection, that their sin is forgiven.
The way was opened, now we are longer short of his glory, because the way to the Father has been cleared we have now become God ‘righteousness.
