The Spirit of God is indeed the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9), even the “breath” of Jesus, who conveys His presence to us.

The risen Lord has for His people unfathomable riches. Despite their failures and unworthiness, Jesus gave His disciples this gift: the noble assignment to proclaim the gospel of divine forgiveness of sins

Jesus rose victoriously from the dead, having inaugurated the new covenant. This risen and victorious Savior then gave gifts to men, even “the unfathomable riches of Christ.” Jesus speaks of these magnificent gifts in His post-resurrection appearances.

The lynchpin that holds the Christian faith together is Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. It is the doctrine every believer upholds.

The empty tomb is said to be the greatest evidence of Jesus’ resurrection. The Jews could have easily disproven the resurrection by producing His body, but they could not.

If Jesus be our Passover, we must clean out the old leaven of sin and live holy lives. All who refuse to trust and obey Christ will one day bitterly grieve the shocking realization that they spurned and wanted dead the very God who stands as Judge over them.
