A Resurrection Like No Other

19 hours ago | theaquilareport.com | Kevin DeYoung

Christ’s resurrection was more than a mere resuscitation of life. Jesus raised several persons from the dead (e.g., a young man, Jairus’s daughter, Lazarus). But none of these “resurrections” marked the turning point in history. Easter Sunday marks the movement from humiliation to exaltation in the work of Christ.
Holiness in an age of worldliness

© clearlyreformed.org. Reused with permission. You would think that one thing every Christian would agree on is the need for personal and corporate holiness. After all, the Bible tells us repeatedly, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy’ (e.g. Leviticus 19:2).

God saved you to sanctify you. God is in the beautification business, washing away spots and smoothing out wrinkles. He will have a blameless bride. He promises to work in you; he also calls you to work out. “The beauty of holiness” is first of all the Lord’s (Psalm 29:2, KJV). But by his grace it can also be yours.
