Resurrection for New Things

READ: Isa. 43:18-19.
MORE LESSONS: Lk 24: 50-53
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Luke 4-6

The resurrection of Jesus was the beginning of a new thing. Jesus was not the same anymore after His resurrection; He began to operate in another dimension. When He came in to see His disciples after His resurrection on the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together , with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you: John 20: 19. Jesus supernaturally knew where the disciples were, He didn't need anybody to give Him the address. They had locked the door because they were afraid of the Jews; Jesus didn't bother to knock at the door, He knew if He did they would melt in fear. Guess what Jesus did? He just stepped in: They looked up and there was The Master standing in their midst. Before He resurrected, everywhere He went He needed someone to open the door but after His resurrection a new dimension came in, He could enter anywhere even with the doors locked. The resurrected Jesus had no respect for obstacles. So, by His resurrection, you prevail over obstacles and pass through where others cannot.
When they shut the door against you, you still cross by the power of His resurrection. On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.... John 7:37-39 (NIV). The power of the Holy Spirit came upon mortal men only after Jesus was glorified. This is another new thing that happened after His resurrection. On the day of Pentecost when the disciples first received the Holy Ghost the Bible says that the Jews heard them speaking different languages and were amazed. They thought the disciples were drunk because it was a new thing. The Jews were amazed! This means that by the resurrection of Jesus, you receive the power of the Holy Spirit, new things begin to happen in your life and you become a wonder.
It was after resurrection that the ascension happened, He was taken up into heaven. It was a new thing, no one had ever seen a man so ascend before. They kept looking as He was going up in their very presence; surprisingly, none of them could grab Him. The force that was taking Jesus up restrained them, they could only look. Do you know what that means? By the power of His resurrection, you are going higher and no power or force can hold you down. Celebrate Jesus for His resurrection!
