Do you need to be resurrected?

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

I never get tired of hearing that at church.

Today at church, we talked about being in need of a resurrection. Our pastor's sermon was short, simple, and to the point because of the choir performance (we were all standing there wishing we could sit down).

What do you need in order to have a resurrection?

A body. Ok, more like a dead body. This could mean spiritual or physical. Jesus died as we all know for our sins on the cross. That was his physical body.

But today I want to ask, are any of you feeling dead? Maybe, like me, you're feeling dead tired from all the festivities or just from the weekend or week. Maybe you're dying of hunger because you haven't eaten in a while. Maybe your marriage is dead and someone might start filing those papers soon. Or maybe you're relationship with God is dead.

Just as Christ was resurrected, we need to be resurrected today. Now we have our bodies right? But we need something else. We need to be willing to be resurrected today.

He is risen! And we can be risen too if we allow ourselves to be!
