Easter Sunday Thought -- April 20, 2014

Good Morning Friends,

The resurrection of Jesus is the gathering point of everything Jesus taught and everything we believe about Him. It is the main event of Christianity and everything about Christianity rises and falls on the truth of the resurrection of Jesus.

“If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (1 Corinthians 15:14)

“If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:17)

“If Christ has not been raised … then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.” (1 Corinthians 15:18)

“If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.” (1 Corinthians 15:19)

“But Christ has INDEED been raised from the dead.” (1 Corinthians 15:20)

Today is Easter and we celebrate a Living Lord, Jesus Christ. The angel proclaimed the news at the tomb of Jesus, “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” (Matthew 28:6)

Happy Easter,

Steve
