Last week, we discussed how the resurrection changed everything for the first followers of Jesus. Yet, resurrection power did not end with Jesus. Today, we'll see how that same power makes us alive in Christ to live a new life.

Ephesians 2:1-10 CSB

1 And you were deadin your trespasses and sins2in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world,according to the ruler of the power of the air,the spiritnow working in the disobedient.3We too all previously lived among them in our fleshlydesires, carrying out the inclinationsof our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrathas the others were also.4But God, who is rich in mercy,because of his great lovethat he had for us,5made us alivewith Christ even though we were deadin trespasses. You are saved by grace!6He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,7so that in the coming ageshe might display the immeasurable richesof his grace through his kindnessto us in Christ Jesus.8For you are saved by gracethrough faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—9not from works, so that no one can boast.10For we are his workmanship, createdin Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of timefor us to do.
