Many people come to church on Easter Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus. But Easter is more than just a time of hearing the proclamation of who Jesus is. It is a time for all people to make a decision about Jesus Christ.

Discerning through the strength of Jesus is the determining factor of His impact on our lives and through our lives as believers or even unbelievers. In Hebrews 2:10 we see the claim that He is the “founder”of salvation. This Greek word archēgos, can also be interpreted as “Captain” or Originator”. One commentator said Founder” is almost equivalent in some respects to the English word “Pioneer.”1 He is doing something that no has done nor will do again, but He calls all people to join Him.

The reality of the strength of Jesus, is that it produces strong beliefs about Him in people. These statements can just as easily be in favor of Christ as they can be against Christ.

Hebrews 2:14-18

When individuals accept the salvation that only Jesus gives, the weight of His power and glory is truly understood and we see the help given to us. “…through death he might destroy the one who has the power over death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” Hebrews 2:14-15

Pray that God would build up your strength in Him so we can all truly be an extension of His body that can only grow when functioning properly.
