This Sunday, we declare,
“Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!”
There is no other statement of faith that means anything apart from those words. Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ from dead. The tomb that held Jesus is empty. He is alive.
If the resurrection of Jesus did not happen, then nothing else in the Christian faith makes any sense. Or, as the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:19 – “… we are of all people most to be pitied.”
In our morning together, I am praying that God would helps us truly feel the power and meaning of the resurrection in our lives. I can’t force it. I can’t even logically explain it. But I do know that the Spirit of God is able to speak to each of our hearts in ways that we will understand the fear and joy that mingled in the souls of the first witnesses of the resurrected Jesus. I pray that you will know that in following Christ you, too, are raised from the dead!
