Introduction:

Hello, welcome to your favorite Christian podcast Let’s Talk God  'N' Christ. I am your host, Gabriella Osamor. 

 

Let’s Pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts, filled with joy and hope as we gather to celebrate the glorious resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for this incredible gift—the victory over sin and death. As we dive into today’s message, “Arise, Christ is Risen,” open our hearts and minds to receive Your truth and let it transform our lives. May we be reminded of the power of the resurrection and be inspired to arise into the new life You offer. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

 

Today, with joy in my heart and hope in my spirit because we didn't just celebrate an event—at Easter, we celebrated a person. And not just any person, but the risen King of Glory—Jesus Christ!

 

Today’s message is "Arise, Christ is Risen." Those five words are more than just a catchy Easter phrase—they are a declaration of victory, a call to action, and a life-changing truth.

1. 1. Christ is Risen — A Fact that Changes Everything
   Let’s start with the foundation: Luke 24:6–7 — “He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’”
   
   The resurrection of Jesus isn’t folklore. It’s not a feel-good metaphor. It’s a historical reality backed by eyewitnesses who saw Him, touched Him, ate with Him, and even doubted until they were face to face with Him.
   
   And if the resurrection is true—and it is—then everything changes:
   
   A. Our faith is not in vain.
   B. Our sins are truly forgiven.
   C. Our eternity is secure.
   D. Death is no longer the end—it's a doorway.
   
   Because Jesus lives, we have hope beyond the grave. The tomb stone was rolled away not so He could get out—but so we could see in and realize: He really did it. He is risen. Hallelujah!!!
   
   
2. 2. Arise — A Call to New Life
   
   Now let’s flip the focus. Because Christ is risen, the message doesn’t stop there. It now shifts to you and me.
   
   Romans 6:4 says: “Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
   
   That word "Arise" is a call. It’s a divine nudge:
   
   A. Arise from your past.
   B. Arise from doubt.
   C. Arise from apathy.
   D. Arise from sin.
   E. Arise into purpose, power, and peace.
   
   The resurrection wasn’t just for Jesus—it’s for us. He got up so we could get up.
   
   Maybe you’ve been spiritually asleep. Maybe life knocked the wind out of you. Maybe shame has kept you buried in your own personal tomb. Hear this today: Arise. Christ didn’t just die for your sins; He rose to lift you out of them.
   
   
3. 3. The Resurrection is a Daily Reality
   
   This isn't just about one Sunday a year with bright clothes and good music. The resurrection is daily power.
   
   Every single day, you and I are invited to live a resurrected life. That means we don't face the world as victims, but as victors. We don't walk in fear, but in faith.
   
   When the enemy whispers, “You're not enough,” you can say, “Christ is.”
   When life gets hard, and you feel buried, remember: seeds are buried too—but they rise with life. So will you.

 

Conclusion:

So what do we do with this? Simple:

A. Believe in the risen Christ. He’s not a theory; He’s alive and wants to know you.
B. Arise into the life He died and rose to give you. Don’t stay in the grave when the stone’s already rolled away.
C. Live like the tomb is empty and Heaven is full. Walk in joy, purpose, and boldness.

Christ is risen.
Now, it’s your turn: Arise.

Closing Prayer:                 
Lord, we thank You for this time of reflection and celebration. We are reminded that Christ is risen, and because of that, we are called to arise into new life. Help us to carry this message in our hearts, living as victors in a world that needs Your light. May we always remember that we are not alone, for You walk with us each day. As we close this podcast, let the truth of the resurrection inspire and empower us to live boldly in faith. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
