Today, we celebrate a beautiful story of love and redemption. We celebrate Jesus' life, not His death. This day, known as Easter, is the very foundation of the Christian faith.
Most likely, if you are reading this, you believe that Christ died and rose again three days later, but the Bible tells us that even of those who saw Him after the resurrection "some doubted" (Matthew 28:17). How do you know? How do you know for sure that Christ arose that day?
Look at Mathew 28:6 - "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
"As he said." The angel is here, sitting on the door of the empty tomb showing that Jesus always keeps His Word. Jesus told the disciples over and over again what would happen, and it did! Jesus always keeps His promises...and He said that He is coming back! Isn't that amazing?
But as my pastor said this morning, you may be thinking, "So what?" The question is this: what has the resurrection meant in your life? What difference has it made in your life? Do you take God at His Word? Are you living for Jesus, the one who has the supreme authority? Why don't we just do as He says?
