DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 3; Jeremiah 36; Hebrews 8
God the Father, who raised [Christ] from the dead. Galatians 1:1
All the Godhead was involved in the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ, but this verse specifically mentions God the Father. By
raising Christ from the dead, the Father emphatically declared that
the work of His Son was acceptable in every detail: sufficient, complete,
and victorious; never to be repeated. We rejoice in His accomplishment
and praise God for such a risen, conquering Lord. Nothing
can be added or subtracted from His finished work. —G. F. Wyley
The Lord is risen; with Him we also rose,
And in his grave see vanquished all our foes;
The Lord is risen; we stand beyond the doom,
Of all our sins, through Jesus’ empty tomb. —W. MacKay
