Rev. Enoch Thompson | July 28 2025 | Acts 13:26-37

KEY VERSE: “We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers ³³ he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. . . ” Acts 13:32-33 (NIV)

MESSAGE:

The fact that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the human soul does not lie only in His sacrificial and representative death on the cross, but also in His glorious, victorious resurrection. For if only He had died without resurrecting from the dead, then He would not have been any different from many other political martyrs and revered sages of various religions. He had to rise again from the dead to be in a class all His own, God in human form, the Holy One of Israel.

The early disciples of the Lord Jesus stressed the fact of the resurrection as a necessary part of the Good News.

We must keep the fact of the resurrection before our eyes. The resurrection of Jesus Christ depicts the victory of our Saviour over our most vicious and most feared enemy, death. It also depicts our resurrected new life through Him. The resurrection of Jesus Christ shows our own victory over the enemy, Satan, and points to our future bodily resurrection after death. Glory to God forevermore!

FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:

Factor the resurrection into your personal life and let it make you live above the forces of death that seek to strangulate your soul. When you share the Gospel, emphasise the fact that Jesus died, but also that He arose from the dead. And let resurrection power be at work in you!

PRAYER:

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you did not remain in the grave but arose from the dead on the third day.

Please grant me the power of resurrection in my day-to-day existence. May I be victorious by the victory of the cross and the resurrection. For your dear Name’s sake, Amen.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.

SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!

The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING Day 209: Song of Songs 7-8 — Lasting Love and Devotion

DAILY word study: RAISING The word “raising” comes from the Greek anistēmi, meaning “to cause to rise” or “to make stand.” It’s used both for physical rising and for resurrection from the dead.

In this verse, it affirms a divine act—God raised Jesus. It wasn’t by chance or through human power. It was God's own hand proving that Jesus is alive and that every promise has been fulfilled through Him. To say God raised Jesus means this: Jesus is not dead. He is Lord. And He’s alive forever—for you.

Reflect on this:

If God raised Jesus, He has the power to raise your life from anything.
