Summary
In today’s devotional, we’re going to examine what it means to have a life in Christ and the power of his resurrection. We think of resurrection primarily as the specific time when Jesus returns, and begins the process of finally making all things right. But the reality is that God invites us into a lifestyle of resurrection every day. Every day he wants to make us new, to renew us, transform us, and mold and fashion us more into his likeness. May God build within us a powerful culture of resurrection today as we draw near to his transformative love and presence.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 11:25, and today's worship is Resurrecting by Elevation Worship.
