7 Day's to Reflect on the Resurrection

Day 1: The Empty Tomb
Scripture: Luke 24:5-6 
Reflection: Reflect on the moment when Mary and Martha found the empty tomb and were asked, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." This moment signifies the power and hope found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Prayer: Lord, help me to seek You in the living hope of Your resurrection. Strengthen my faith in the power of Your name. Amen.


Day 2: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Scripture: Psalm 16:10 
Reflection: Consider the prophecy in Psalm 16:10, "For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption." This prophecy, fulfilled in Jesus' resurrection, underscores the reliability of God's Word and His promises. Prayer: Father, thank You for fulfilling Your promises through Jesus. Help me to trust in Your Word and live in the assurance of Your faithfulness. Amen.

Day 3: Declared the Son of God
Scripture: Romans 1:3-4
Reflect & Meditate on Romans 1:3-4, where Paul declares that Jesus was "declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead."

Let the truth of Your resurrection transform my life and deepen my relationship with You. Amen.

Day 4: The Disciples' Transformation

Give me boldness to proclaim Your truth and live out my faith courageously. Amen.

Day 5: The Hope of Resurrection
