Reflection

This emphasizes the core of Christian faith: confession and belief. It teaches us that salvation is not about our works or efforts but about our faith in Jesus Christ. To declare “Jesus is Lord” is to acknowledge His sovereignty and authority over our lives, and to believe in His resurrection is to trust in the power of God and the promise of eternal life.

We should live out our faith boldly and to share the good news of Jesus with others. We need to remember that our relationship with God is founded on His grace and our trust in His saving power. Let us therefore renew our commitment to proclaiming Jesus as Lord in both our words and actions, and let our hearts be filled with the assurance of His resurrection and the hope it brings.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, strengthen my faith. Deepen my belief in the resurrection and the power it holds. Let this belief transform my life, filling me with hope, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose. Guide me in sharing this good news with others, so they too may experience the joy of salvation.

Thank You for Your endless love and grace. Help me to remain steadfast in my faith, always trusting in Your promises and rejoicing in the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray, Amen.
