I don’t know if you have ever tried to walk down a path in the middle of the night through the woods, but it can be a little unnerving.

To get the correct clothes on, and for them to function properly, sometimes you have to get rid of what you are currently wearing.

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of what you and I must believe to be saved. Romans 10:9 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

In John 3:19–21, the Word explains even more about light versus darkness.

Jesus is talking about walking and where you walk concerning the realm of the spirit.

The resurrection of Jesus is the most important event in the Word of God. Without the resurrection of Jesus, there is no new birth. When you and I are born again, the most important truth to believe, according to Romans 10:9–10, is that Jesus was raised from the dead.

The angel is pointing out that Jesus’ body is no longer there, and He is alive. The other thing I would like to point out to you is that Jesus is no longer on the cross.

Jesus died naturally. When He was on the cross, He cried, “It is finished,” and He gave up the ghost. In other words, He died just as any other human being would have died; but when He died, something very different happened.

I want to look at the fact that Jesus wasn’t saying, “I am Jesus.” It seems as though Jesus identified Himself as the great I AM.

The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers according to 2 Corinthians 4:4, and Jesus gave the Apostle Paul, and us, the assignment of turning the lost from darkness to light and releasing them from the prison house that the devil has them locked in.

Power for clothing. That is what the Word of God says. When we allow the power of God to come upon us, it is like clothing.

This power, or dunamis in the Greek, was for us and is now in us. The Amplified Classic says it this way, “And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe…”

The name of Jesus is above every name. Philippians 2:9–10 says, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

This Psalm is amazing in showing how the Lord guides us in our lives. First, He is a Shepherd, and a shepherd watches out for the sheep.

Jesus was raised from the dead after suffering on the cross and becoming sin, taking our poverty, and carrying every sickness and disease for us.

If we want to glorify God, then we have to finish our assignment. We must finish the race that has been set before us. I know we have talked a lot about finishing, but I want you to know how important it is to God that you and I finish the course laid out before us. How you and I spend eternity depends on it.
