“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:14
“And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you… He will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.” – Romans 8:11
Jesus didn’t just rise from the dead to prove who He was.
He rose to empower a people — us — to carry His resurrection life into a broken and dying world.
We are not just called to believe in resurrection.
We are called to embody it.
To be carriers of His Spirit.
To step into lifeless spaces and speak hope.
To enter broken places and bring healing.
To find what the world has given up on and declare, “This can live again.”
You Were Made to Carry Life
Wherever Jesus walked, life followed.
The lame walked. The blind saw. The grieving found joy. The dead were raised.
But now? He walks through you.
If you belong to Him, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the grave lives inside of you. That means you carry more than encouragement — you carry resurrection power. You carry hope that breaks chains. Faith that speaks to dry bones. Love that revives hearts hardened by pain.
You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t need a perfect past. You just need a willing heart and the presence of God, and you become a living invitation for dead places to come alive again.
God Sends People to Broken Places
Have you ever wondered why God has placed you in a family full of conflict, a workplace that feels cold, or a community that seems hopeless?
It’s because He trusts you with His light.
You are not there by accident. You are sent.
Like Ezekiel standing in the valley of dry bones, God positions His people to speak to what looks dead and say, “Live.”
He uses ordinary people — just like you — to awaken faith, call out purpose, and reignite dreams long buried.
You don’t just bring encouragement — you bring evidence that resurrection is possible.
What’s Around You That Needs Life?
Maybe it’s a family divided by silence.
A friend who has lost their will to keep going.
A dream inside you that’s gone quiet.
A church, a neighborhood, or a classroom that feels spiritually dry.
Instead of backing away, ask Jesus to breathe through you.
Ask Him to give you His eyes, His words, His courage.
Then go — even if your voice trembles — and love like someone who knows what it means to be brought back to life.
Because once you’ve experienced resurrection, you can’t help but want others to experience it too.
You Are Resurrection Carriers
Easter doesn’t end with an empty tomb — it begins with a risen people.
You are the proof that Jesus is alive.
Not because you’re perfect — but because something in you that was once dead now lives.
And now, you’ve been called to be a resurrection voice.
To love boldly. To pray courageously.
To show up in broken places and say, “Life can happen here.”
A Prayer to Carry Life:
Jesus, thank You for not only raising me to life, but for calling me to be a bringer of life. Let my words carry Your hope. Let my actions reflect Your heart. Fill me with the courage to speak into lifeless places, knowing You have the power to bring them back. Help me to see what You see, to love like You love, and to never underestimate the life-giving power of Your Spirit in me. Use me, Lord — not just to live for You, but to help others come alive in You. In Your name, amen.
