You He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins. — Ephesians 2:1

The dramatic account of what occurred when Jesus came upon a sizable funeral procession is found in Luke 7. A widow was travelling to the cemetery to lay to rest her one and only son. Jesus spoke to the widow, touched the coffin, and with a command brought her son back to life. He did all of this out of compassion. 

That young man's experience serves as an example of what occurs to someone who is converted to Christ. We are "dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph. 2:1) and headed towards what the Bible refers to as the second death (Rev. 20:6) until we come into contact with the Saviour. Unless we experience a spiritual rebirth, we will be estranged from God's love forever. 

However, when the desperate sinner hears from Jesus through the persuading work of the Holy Spirit and places his faith in Him, he immediately gains new life. Then come joy, happiness, and blessing. 

Have you heard Jesus' teachings of eternal life, friend? Only He can offer you a joyful awakening that gives forgiveness and joy right now as well as the hope of eternal life in heaven. He alone can remove the deadness from your soul. 

Ask Jesus to use you to teach people about the One who grants new life if He has saved you from eternal death. 

When you put your faith in God's Son, light replaces the darkness. When I was dead in sin and far from God, I couldn't see any light in my heart. 

But I discovered the light in God's Word, and now Christ lives in me.
