(CS4U) Dead and Buried

Dead and Buried BIBLE MEDITATION "And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:4 DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT One of the grandest blessings in the entire Bible is often missed by believers. It is the burial of Jesus Christ! That's right! The burial of Jesus is a blessing to you. Because not only have we died with Him, we have been buried with Him. When Jewish people died in Bible times, they were immediately embalmed with special oils and wrapped in linen. The body was hidden and buried in a tomb. That is what Jesus has done with our old body of sin. Not only have we been crucified with Christ, we have been buried with Christ. Why the emphasis? So that you will not be haunted by the ghost of guilt. Your old life is not just dead, it's buried! ACTION POINT The devil will try to remind you what you were. Don't let him. Don't go prowling around in the dead bones of your old life. It is gone by the grace of God!
