Since the throws of the pandemic, we have been hearing the idea bantered about by politicians and media pundits referred to as the Great Reset. The notion conveys a societal and economic change whereby we need to move to a new paradigm or start over because what we have been doing doesn’t work any longer. Depending on who you listen to, the idea of a drastic reset altering our daily life sparks hope in some and fear in others.
On the first Easter Sunday the greatest reset in history took place. It was a day where the dynamic of life and death would be transformed eternally. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead by the power of God, He broke the bondage and sting of death (Romans 8:1-3) & (1 Corinthians 15:54-57) offering a freedom from its grasp to all who receive Him by faith. Jesus declared to His followers “Because I live, you will live also” (John 14:19). This is the message of Easter.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5
The Apostle Peter describes the fruit of the resurrection as a “living hope” which cannot be squashed or fade away like so many dreams of this world. That same power that raised Christ from the dead holds secure a future and an inheritance reserved and guaranteed by God for those who call upon Jesus Christ. And what God reserves and keeps by His power no one can “reset”.
It is because Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was raised from the dead that first Easter, He boldly declares “I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades” (Revelation 1:17-18). His victory over death has laid the foundation of an immutable and unshakeable eternal hope for all who trust in Him.
