“Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.” (Romans 8:34)
A couple with ten children was being interviewed. They were asked, “Which of your ten children do you love the most?” They replied, “The one who is sick until he is well, the one who is lost until he is found, the one who is hungry until he is fed or the one who is crying until he is no longer sad.”
Out of all the many verses of scripture in the Bible which one do I like the best? Today, as we approach Easter our text above is at least one of my favorites. It sums up so much of the Easter story in just four simple, yet profound, points. First, Christ died on the cross as a sacrifice, the only sacrifice that would please God as a payment for our sins. Second, He is risen. The tomb is empty. He is alive. We serve a risen Savior. Third, He is at the right hand of God, a place of honor, power and deity. Fourth, He is our High Priest continually making intercession for us.
Which verse of the many from which to choose is your favorite? Let His Word speak to you.
