The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the hinge upon which the entire Christian faith turns. Without it, the gospel loses its foundation, and hope fades into the void. Yet, the resurrection is not simply an event of the past, but a transformative power that invades our present and shapes our future. It is both a historical reality and a personal promise—a divine intervention that makes all things new.

What does the resurrection mean for you? It is not just a theological statement; it is the bedrock of our everyday existence, the lens through which we view all things, the source of our ultimate hope. As we reflect on what the resurrection means for us, we are invited not just to contemplate a moment in history, but to embrace the life-altering reality it brings to every corner of our lives.
