Celebrate! It’s Forever.
Read Luke 7
Luke 7:14-15 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
WHAT DO you think the mother felt? Oh my, what would she feel but great release from grief! She would feel exalting joy and incredible wonder. She would be even more amazed than the day her son was first born.
Now, he was born again! He was alive! He was made new! He was transformed from death! Let’s rejoice and have a party. Call the family. Call the friends. Call the town. Let everyone come who can!
Now, what do you say when someone says, “I confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior.” Most of what I hear is “Great!” or “That’s good.” Or some mundane congratulations.
When someone does confess Jesus as Lord it is better than this new life in this young man. It is eternal life! There should be shouting, singing, rejoicing, celebration, and wonder expressed throughout the community.
Who do you know who is born again? Celebrate! It’s forever!
Pause and Consider: being born again is an eternal joy!
