Heartlight Daily Devotional Wednesday, April 19, 2006 Christ has indeed been raised, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. --1 Corinthians 15:20-22 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... Being eternal is nothing new. Being like Jesus, completely, immortally will be new. But when the moment of glory hung in the balance as Jesus was revived from his death sleep, we too were given the assurance that death no longer claims us. The only death that really matters is our death to sin with Jesus in baptism. If we have shared in that death, we will most certainly share in his resurrection (see Romans 6:1-14). MY PRAYER... Almighty, Most Powerful God. Because of your grace and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, I know I will see you face to face. Help me now, however, to live that resurrected life being more like Jesus today than any day ever before. Through my Risen Lord I pray. Amen. ----------- Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/losowgko_ltodkg.html>http://www.heartlight.org ----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/rlmlenrw_ltodkg.html>http://www.zondervan.com If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. * Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
