People saw countless miracles during Jesus’s three year ministry, the most significant being his resurrection and victory over death. The end of John’s gospel tells us there’s so much more that’s NOT recorded in scripture that there aren’t enough books in the world to contain it all!
In Romans 6, Paul reminds us that we don’t only participate in a crucifixion like his, but we also participate in a resurrection like his. That’s the Christian hope this Easter season…the promise of new life, victory over death, and an eternity with Him.
