Rising Above: Living Out the Power of Christ’s Resurrection
By Chris N. Braza
When Jesus rose from the grave, He didn’t just conquer death—He broke every chain that would ever try to hold us back. The resurrection isn’t just a historical moment; it’s a present, living power available to anyone who believes. It’s not just something to celebrate on Easter Sunday—it’s a truth we’re called to walk in every single day.
From the Grave to Glory
The cross was the ultimate display of love, but the resurrection? That was the declaration of victory. Jesus didn’t stay in the tomb. He rose, proving that no darkness is permanent and no defeat is final.
And because He rose, we rise too.
Whatever grave you’ve been stuck in—fear, failure, addiction, anxiety, sin, shame—know this: you were never meant to stay there. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11). That’s not a poetic metaphor. That’s the Word of God. That’s resurrection reality.
Living Resurrection Power
So how do we live that out?
-
Believe BiggerStart seeing your life through the lens of the resurrection. You're not a victim. You're not stuck. You're not just surviving. You’re a child of God, called to rise, reign, and reflect His glory.
-
Break FreeWhatever chains you’ve been dragging—let them go. You’re no longer a slave. Walk out of the tomb like Jesus did. The stone has already been rolled away.
-
Shine BrightA resurrected life shines. It serves. It loves. It heals. It speaks hope in the darkest places. You are the light of the world—not because of who you are, but because of who lives in you.
-
Stay Rooted in the WordResurrection power isn’t sustained by hype or emotion—it’s fueled by truth. Stay grounded in God’s Word and let His promises anchor your soul.
Your Rising Starts Now
Friend, you were made to rise above. Above doubt. Above pain. Above the lies. Above limitations. Christ’s resurrection wasn’t the end of His story—it was the beginning of ours.
So rise. Rise in hope. Rise in purpose. Rise in faith. And as you rise, bring others with you. There’s a world out there that needs to see what resurrection really looks like—not just in theory, but in action, through you.
Let’s live it. Let’s walk in it. Let’s show the world that because He lives, we rise.
Nang muling nabuhay si Jesus mula sa libingan, hindi lang Niya tinalo ang kamatayan—winakasan Niya ang bawat tanikala na kailanma’y susubok pumigil sa atin. Ang muling pagkabuhay Niya ay hindi lamang bahagi ng kasaysayan; ito ay kapangyarihang buhay at aktibo, para sa bawat taong nananampalataya. Hindi lang ito isang pagdiriwang tuwing Mahal na Araw—ito ay pamumuhay araw-araw sa tagumpay Niya.
Mula Libingan Patungong Kaluwalhatian
Ang krus ang sukdulang pagpapakita ng pag-ibig, pero ang muling pagkabuhay? Iyon ang deklarasyon ng tagumpay. Hindi nanatili si Jesus sa libingan. Siya’y nabuhay—patunay na walang kadilimang permanente, at walang pagkatalong walang katapusan.
At dahil Siya’y nabuhay, tayo’y babangon din.
Ano mang “libingan” ang kinalalagyan mo ngayon—takot, kabiguan, pagkakasala, pagkabalisa, kahihiyan—tandaan mo: hindi mo tahanan ang libingan. Ang kaparehong kapangyarihang bumuhay muli kay Kristo ay nananahan din sa iyo (Roma 8:11). Hindi ito palamuti ng salita—ito ay totoo. Ito ang kapangyarihan ng muling pagkabuhay.
Isabuhay ang Kapangyarihan ng Pagkabuhay
Paano natin ito isasabuhay?
-
Maniwala nang Mas MalakiTingnan ang buhay mo sa lente ng tagumpay ni Kristo. Hindi ka talunan. Hindi ka nakakulong. Hindi ka lang basta nabubuhay—isa kang anak ng Diyos, tinawag upang bumangon at magningning.
-
KumawalaAnumang tanikalang kinakaladkad mo—bitawan mo na. Hindi ka na alipin. Lumakad ka palabas ng iyong “libingan.” Nabuksan na ang bato. Tapos na ang gapos.
-
MagliwanagAng pusong nabuhay muli kay Kristo ay hindi nananahimik. Ito’y naglilingkod, nagmamahal, nagpapagaling, at nagbibigay pag-asa. Ikaw ay ilaw ng sanlibutan—hindi dahil sa kung sino ka, kundi dahil sa kung sino ang nasa loob mo.
-
Manatiling Nakaugat sa Salita ng DiyosHindi hype ang nagpapatibay sa kapangyarihan ng pagkabuhay—kundi ang katotohanan. Ang Salita ng Diyos ang ating lakas at sandigan.
Ngayon na ang Panahon ng Iyong Pagbangon
Kaibigan, ikaw ay tinawag upang bumangon. Bangon mula sa duda, sakit, kasinungalingan, at hadlang. Ang muling pagkabuhay ni Kristo ay hindi katapusan ng Kanyang kwento—ito ang simula ng atin.
Kaya bangon. Bangon sa pag-asa. Bangon sa layunin. Bangon sa pananampalataya. At habang ikaw ay bumabangon, damay mo ang iba. Ang mundo ay kailangang makita kung ano ang hitsura ng muling pagkabuhay—hindi lang sa salita, kundi sa pamumuhay mo.
Isabuhay natin ito. Lakaran natin ito. Ipakita natin sa mundo na dahil Siya’y buhay—tayo’y babangon.
