The bodily resurrection of Jesus is necessary to prove the Deity of Jesus (meaning without the resurrection of Jesus no other evidence is sufficient), and cannot be separated from His historical life and ministry. The importance of the resurrection of Messiah is prophesied in the Old Testament. “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise … and the earth shall cast out the dead.” Isa 26:19. Jesus prophesied His resurrection. Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” Jn 12:32. Paul explained the significance of the resurrection to believers. “And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” 1 Cor 15:17.

“By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; ”¹

Sometimes I feel like a live such a mediocre life. I live in obscurity, not well-known or sought after. I’m not rich, or intellectual or possess a flashy personality. Many have been the times I wondered why God loves me, saved me and called me into the pastorate.
My problem is that I forget the awesomeness of my God. He is the all powerful, everywhere present and all knowing God. And He does awesome deeds. He is the One who fashioned me and caused me to live in this time of history. It is He who brought me to the cross and saved my poor, sinful soul. He is the One who answers my prayers and is the only valid object of trust.
So, instead of focusing on my self and my inadequacies, I need to focus upon the awesome God. He is the One I can truly trust, truly depend upon and truly be confident of.
