HE IS RISEN

HAPPY EASTER—–  Believing the Truth – John 20:1-18

“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?  He isn’t here!  He is risen from the dead! (Luke 245-6).

HE IS RISEN—-HE IS RISEN—–HE IS RISEN!

Nothing more is required for our salvation other than the price Christ already paid at the Cross.
*Our sin-debt is paid in full, and the empty tomb is our receipt.

Some of us don’t know what to do with the “Truth of the Resurrection”!
* For Easter, we sing certain hymns and we have traditions that we do in the service and in meals at home.

But the broader concept of the Resurrection, this is harder to grasp.
*1Corinthians 15:13 For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.

**Without the Resurrection, Jesus is merely a dead and moral martyr who provided great teaching.

John 11:25  Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.
**Recovering the Resurrection.
This begins with remembering what Jesus said.
*So often, we forget what the Bible teaches about the resurrection, about the power and meaning of it.
* Our wonder will grow cold without His Word!
*We also need to repent for forgetting His Word!
*We need to remember that his death and resurrection “Solved the Problem of Sin and Death”!!!!
*Jesus death and resurrection empowers everything that Jesus said.

This resurrection wonder will lead to transformed lives, where each Sunday service and each day we live revolves around the Hope of a Risen Savior.

Jesus Has Risen! Jesus has Risen Indeed! I pray the world will see the true meaning of Easter and read Isaiah 53 and ask “How could  this be predicted 700 years before this all took place?”  And know that the Word of God is 100 percent True and Trustworthy and we all have The Faith and Hope of spending Eternity with our Heavenly Father.
Thank You JESUS! You have RISEN Indeed!  Amen
