"The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you," Romans 8:11.
Whose Spirit? The Spirit of God. And what did God do? He raised Jesus from the dead. This same Spirit dwells in us. And just as God raised Jesus from the dead, exactly like that (exactly!), God will give life to our dead bodies. How? through his Spirit. His Spirit of life who dwells in us. Wow! But wait. All this depends on if, in fact, God's Spirit dwells in us, right? If. If God's Spirit dwells within. So who has the Spirit dwelling within them? People who are in Christ Jesus.
We meet with a brother or sister today assured of life by the Spirit within us. And together we give thanks as we anticipate God's life to win over our death just as he raised Christ out of the dead to life.
