If Jesus overcame the grave, he’s still alive and available for me to personally encounter. If Jesus conquered death, he can open the door of eternal life for me too. If he has divine power, he has the supernatural ability to guide and transform me as I follow him. As my Creator who has my best interests at heart, he rightfully deserves my allegiance and worship. Unsure what to do, I turned to a Bible verse I had encountered earlier. John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
