The power to change comes not from greater determination or a better system of rules, but from the truth that you died, rose, and ascended with Christ. Change happens when you set your mind and heart on him, considering your life to be his.

Jesus revealed himself to his disciples, overcame their fears and sent them on mission. Since we have the eyewitness testimony of Jesus’ disciples, we also ought to believe that he rose from the dead and give our lives to carry that good news to the world.

Mary, Peter, and John witnessed the empty tomb and became witnesses to his resurrection. Since we have eyewitness testimony of Jesus’ resurrection supported by reasonable evidences, we ought to believe in him and bear witness to his gift of eternal life.

In his crucifixion Jesus continued to govern the affairs of men to fulfill God’s eternal plan. Since Jesus is Lord, even when he was being crucified, we must humble ourselves and trust him to be our Savior, the only one who is worthy of our confidence and hope.

Jesus revealed the Father’s glory by testifying to the truth before Pilate and the Jews. Since the kingdom of Christ is characterized by truth, and those on the side of truth demonstrate they are so by hearing Jesus’ voice, we must listen and believe his testimony.

Jesus gave himself up to his enemies to fulfill the Father’s plan, while Judas and Peter turned aside. Since sin is at the root of the failure to remain loyal to Christ, we must live by faith and repentance, believing the word of God over our own thoughts.
