RESURRECTION – What really took place in the tomb?

Ever wonder what actually took place in the tomb? Did the Father come and breathe life into Jesus as we saw Elisha do with the widow's dead son? Whatever the events were, we are sure that they required enormous power. Perhaps this was a moment where all the power of God was summoned to bring about this resurrection.

Creation was probably more of a walk in the park. Most significant is that such a powerful event was taking place in the tomb, yet no one heard or saw a thing! The stone which had been moved there and sealed had been rolled away. No-one noticed. This powerful event took place quickly and quietly. By the time anyone noticed, it was all over!

We often observe a person or a situation, judging them or it, from the outside. We judge by what we see. In most instances, if we don't like what we see, we behave negatively, even speaking death over the person or situation. It seems we have completely forgotten that God does not work on the outside but on the inside!

He works on the heart of man. From the inside out. In a moment, changes have taken place. God has done His work. By the time we begin to notice changes, the work has already been completed. Often very quickly and quietly! The death of Jesus was a real death. His body was wrapped in clean linen cloth or grave clothes. When he rose from the dead, he left the linen or grave clothes behind.

Luke 24:12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Any situation or circumstance which has died is able to be resurrected. Where there is only hopelessness, there is can be hope. The marriage may be dead. No hope. No feelings. Whatever the circumstances may be, with God there is always hope. When He is brought into the situation all circumstances are subject to Him and therefore subject to change.

Romans 8:11, And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

We are able to command whatever is dead to life. This is attainable. Now God is in you. He lives in you. Stop thinking that the solution to a situation is coming from somewhere out there! In the situations you find yourself, you are the solution.

We never think of ourselves as the solution and always try to escape. Have you forgotten who is in you? Do you know who you are? If you don't then this is the time to find out. He is in you and all is subject to Him and therefore subject to you. God and you are not two separate entities. YOU ARE ONE. With His guidance, the Holy Spirit will guide you in all things. God desires for you to be the solution. Negative circumstances and situations can be left behind.

Proverbs 18:21, Death and Life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit. Good or bad, that is up to you! You have been given all the dominion and power.
