Grace For You Today – April 22, 2025
The Spirit of the Father Who Raised Jesus Lifts You To The Center Stage Today !
“And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it… But the angel answered and said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.’”
— Matthew 28:2, 5-6 (NKJV)
The angel not only rolled away the stone but sat on it—declaring that the work is finished! This powerful image affirms that all who believe in the risen Lord are now seated with Him at the right hand of the Father.
Sitting is a posture of rest and receiving.
It symbolizes the finished work of Christ and the believer’s position of victory and authority.
Notice the angel’s words: “You seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen.” This is a call for believers to shift their focus—not only to the Cross but now to the Risen Christ.
For the sinner seeking salvation, the Cross stands between them and the world. But for the believer, the Cross has already crucified the old self and former life. Now, through the resurrection, we walk in newness of life.
In Christ’s resurrection, we live a life that is:
• Always fresh and renewed
• Above every challenge
• Victorious and reigning
• Eternal and unstoppable
As believers, we were buried with Christ through baptism into His death, and raised to live a brand-new life. Old things have passed away—behold, all things have become new!
Beloved, Jesus who was crucified is now risen as Lord and Christ—and He will never die again. As the Risen Lord takes the center stage in your heart, the Father lifts you to the center stage in this world.
This is certain in the Name of the Risen Jesus! Receive it today! Amen!
Praise Jesus, our RIGHTEOUSNESS!
