A devotional I received via email worth sharing

> Meaning Of The Resurrection
>
> The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest event in
> human history.
>
> Why?
>
> Not just because someone came back from death. That had
> happened before.
>
> Jesus was acting as a representative for the human race. What
> He was doing for not for Himself -- but for us.
>
> ROMANS 4:25 NKJ
> 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised
> because of our justification.
>
> The people watching Jesus die on the cross knew nothing of
> this. Later it was revealed what actually happened. Jesus was
> being a substitute for the human race, suffering in our stead.
> When divine justice was satisfied -- Jesus was raised from the
> dead as your representative. You got credit for what Jesus did.
>
> It was not just the death and resurrection of one man. It was
> the legal death and resurrection of us all. All Jesus did was
> as mankind's substitute representative.
>
> Jesus was not raised from the dead until you were justified.
> That means declared righteous, or in right standing with God.
>
> The resurrection of Jesus, according to Scripture, is a
> declaration that God has taken care of the sin problem and made
> you righteous.
>
> SAY THIS: Father, please help me to understand the implications
> of the resurrection of Jesus Christ in my life.
