Matthew 22:31
Resurrection is at the heart of Christian doctrine. Without the resurrection there would really be no point to the Bible, Christian life, or any of the rest of it. If death is the end and God has no power beyond the grave then Jesus is dead and we are hopelessly miserable. Indeed, to try to promote biblical truth or Christian living and morality without this doctrine is really quite dishonest. This would be very much what Paul speaks of in 2 Timothy 3:5, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are God alone reigning in absolute authority. You are infinite in Your person, complete in Your power, and unlimited in Your intelligence. You can understand all of the great mysteries and You know the answers to all of the toughest questions. It is You Who makes this great universe tick in sync and work the way it does. It is You who keeps track of every molecule of our existence. You know us better than we know ourselves. You have a log of everything. You know what happens at every level at any moment. You see it all, and You know it all. Thank You for Your great mercy, grace and love. It is so wonderful to know that One who is so great is also, by His very nature, so good. Thank You for Your Son, who is the full manifestation of all Your glory. He means so much to me! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
