Mark 16:6"And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him."
Prophecy fulfilled. Words and Promises are all fulfilled when Christ died on the cross. Surely it is finished? Yes, for the first part; No for the next. This is because just His death won't save us. He needs to conquer death to give us life.
Today, on Easter Sunday, we remember Christ's Resurrection, His great conquer over death to rise to heaven so that we can have eternal life so long as we believe. Truly, the Son of God came to be the Son of Man to die and rose from the dead so that we can become the sons of God.
Facts of history on Christ's Resurrection is undisputable. It was a fact how His resurrection dramatically changed the lives and characters of the disciples. Even after He has departed from earth, He called Saul to be His disciples through a dramatic event along the road to Desmacus. His power is everlasting, on earth and in heaven.
If we believe Christ to have raised to heaven, why would we not believe that He will return? How He was taken to heaven will be how He will return. The signs of His return are plenty - the corruption of mankind, the widespread knowledge of the gospel and the return of Isreal to their promised land. The Lord is to return to judge the world, save Isreal and restore the kingdom of Christ.
In the fullness of time, He will return to reign (Rev 19:11-16).
So He is not finished, and we are not finished too! Act 1:8 - we shall be witnesses unto Christ in our lives. We need to be God's ambassadors, witness and advocate of His salvation work. Have we worked hard for the Lord in our lives? Have we lived a life worthy of the witness for Christ? May the Lord fulfil His will and plan in our lives as He would to all who are called as sons of God.
