EASTER, RESURRECTION DAY
Luke 24: 6 & 7 – “He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the central fact of Christian history. On it, the church is built, without it, there would be no Christian church today. Jesus’ resurrection is unique. Other religions have strong ethical systems, concepts about paradise and afterlife, and various holy scriptures. Only Christianity has a God who became human, literally died for His people, and was raised again in power and glory to rule His church forever.
Why is resurrection so important?
1) Because Christ was raised from the dead, we know that the kingdom of heaven has broken into earth’s history. Our world is now headed for redemption, not disaster. God’s mighty power
is at work destroying sin, creating new lives, and preparing us for Jesus’ second coming.
2) Because of the resurrection, we know that death has ben conquered, and we too will be raised from the dead to live forever with Christ.
3) The resurrection gives authority to the church’s witness in the world. Look at the early evangelistic sermons in the book of Acts; the apostles’ most important message was the proclamation that Jesus Christ had been raised from the dead!
4) The resurrection gives meaning to the church’s regular feast, the Lord’s Supper. Like the disciples on the Emmaus Road, we break bread with our risen Lord, who comes in power to save us.
5) The resurrection helps us find meaning even in great tragedy. No matter what happens to us as we walk with Lord, the resurrection gives us hope for the future.
6) The resurrection assures us that Christ is alive and ruling His kingdom. He is not legend; He is alive and real.
7) God’s power that brought Jesus back from the dead is available to us so that we can live for Him in an evil world.
Christians can look very different from another, and they can hold widely varying beliefs about politics, life-style, and even theology. But one central belief unites and inspires all true Christians – Jesus Christ rose from the dead!
Happy Resurrection Day and God Bless
