We have celebrated Resurrection Sunday. We have worshiped the risen Savior. For us at Heights Church, it was a great day. We sang with our hearts. We worshiped the mighty King.

These are great days of celebration. It doesn’t take away from the battles we face in our lives. Christ triumphs… and we have to know that triumph even in the midst of intense battles.

Reflecting on Exodus 12 I am reviewing the story of the Passover. One particular sentence jumped out at me:

He won’t let the destroyer enter your houses to strike you down. (Ex. 12:23b, CEB)

All that Israel had to go through to plan for Passover, and to prepare for that night of judgment as the angel of the Lord would pass over Egypt, God promises that in the midst of terror the destroyer would not harm them. The blood was applied.

Resurrection is exciting. The battles are tough. But the reality of the Resurrection and the work of the Lord needs to be deeply instilled in us. The Lord has covered us with his blood. The destroyer cannot strike us down. The battle is intense. The victory is the Lord’s.

Live in this resurrection power.
