HIGHWAY TABERNACLE ~ RESURRECTION LIFE

“Following Jesus and Loving People”


Do you tend to think more about the past or the future? Our faith in Jesus and the Resurrection is rooted in specific historical places and past events, but it is so much more! Unfortunately, many believe in Jesus like they believe in George Washington and the war for Independence. Their reasoning is, “Jesus, like George Washington, lived a good life and made a great impact for all of us, but that’s about it”.  However, Jesus did not rise from the dead, so we might have a “feel-good memory”. He rose to live as the mighty risen Savior in us right now. That’s what life “in the Spirit” is all about! The living, current, everlasting Spirit which empowered Jesus to  conquer death lives present tense in true believers! This Spirit of Jesus   becomes the center of our “power grid” giving us the ability to say yes to him, and no to evil and sin. Galatians describes this new powerful lifestyle (and the battle that rages). “So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is   contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want” (5:16-17). Verse 25 goes on to say, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Victorious spiritual living does not happen by a mere mental knowledge of past events. The Bible emphasizes the past in order to help us realize what we have in the present. We can live a life that pleases God because we believe in Jesus, and walk in the strength of his Spirit. Enjoy fellowship with Jesus…He is risen!
