The Justification of Jesus
On Easter morning, we rejoice not only that Christ rose from the dead, but that in His resurrection, He was vindicated by the Spirit — publicly declared righteous by God the Father. This was not for His sake alone, but for all who are united to Him by faith. Christ’s justification secures our own. His resurrection is the verdict of our salvation, the foundation of our peace with God, and the guarantee of our future glory. Because He was justified, we are justified in Him — now and forever.
