He Is Alive

Victory Manifested

Indeed, Jesus is alive! As the angels proclaimed at the tomb, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:5–6). The resurrection is not the reversal of defeat, but the unveiling of Christ’s great victory over sin, death, and evil.

Victory is not a boastful word for Christians; it is our joyful confession. At the cross, it looked as though darkness had won. But Easter morning tells a different story: the tomb was empty, and the power of death was broken. As Bishop Lesslie Newbigin said, “The resurrection is not the reversal of a defeat but the manifestation of a victory.”

Jesus is not among the dead. He is the Living One, still present, still saving, still victorious. Because He lives, we can walk daily in His power. We are no longer defined by failure or fear, but by His triumph. As Scripture says, “ Thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You that You are alive. Fill my heart today with the joy of Your victory. Help me to live in the power of Your resurrection.Amen.
