Before a Resurrection There Must Be a Death

This Sunday, over a Billion people will be celebrating Easter. Many will observe the day out of a cultural necessity. Yet, many others will specifically be rejoicing in the resurrection of the Lamb.
But, there is still an essential paradigm that needs to be reflected upon and enacted—the Full Story.

In order for you and I to be resurrected into our spiritual destiny, we need to die to the flesh.
Like Jesus, we need to submit our flesh to the Father; we need to pick up the cross daily. The Full Story of the Resurrection is “Before a Resurrection, there needs to be a death; before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, there needs to be a submission to the realities of the cross.”

“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.” Matthew 27:50-53 #resurectionsunday #easter #mybristolchurch #mybristolborough #revival #awakening #jesus
