Philippians 3:10 “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”
1. That I may know him

2. The power of his resurrection

3. The fellowship of his sufferings

4. Being made conformable unto his death

In order to understand the power of Jesus’ resurrection of the dead we must first understand that this was the plan from the beginning. When Adams fell in the garden, Jesus was the plan to redeem fallen man back from the hand of the enemy. For this reason every prophet (in some way or another) foretold of the coming messiah. The purpose of the resurrection was to redeem man.

When Jesus was crucified on the cross, when he was pierced in the side, blood and water came forth. That was for the salvation of the world. The blood for the remission of sin, and the water for baptism, all in the name of Jesus.

Knowing the power of Jesus’ resurrection is to understand, and appreciate all the benefits we have received through his awesome sacrifice. The forgiveness of sin. The power can be seen in the ability of the blood of Jesus, that it reaches all the way back to the beginning, and stretches forward to the times to come. It is timeless. It will never lose its power.

The Holy Ghost, or the comforter, which Jesus told to disciples and believers to go into the upper room and wait for (see Acts 2), is the ultimate benefit. This gift of Jesus coming to dwell in us. The gift that gives us power to be witnesses of him (see Acts 1:8). The power of God dwelling in us bodily. The power to overcome all of the power of the evil one. The power to live a victorious life. A life that brings glory to God. The power to rise to meet Jesus when he returns.

A free gift to all who will receive. The epitome of love. A love so great that he was willing to suffer and die for all. With a resurrection from the dead that freed us all.

This is the power of his resurrection.
