Stories of Resurrection: Easter Sunday
This weekend is the celebration of the very core of why we follow Jesus. Without the resurrection, He was just another teacher. Without the resurrection, He was a good guy with good ideas who made a sizeable mark in history. However, if the resurrection took place, it is impossible for Jesus to simply be another teacher or just a good guy. It is the very crux of our faith.
Easter also promises resurrection for those who follow Jesus. Yes, that comes in the form of the eternal presence of God, but that no, that doesn’t start after we die. It starts now. Resurrection begins when I invite the presence of God into my life and allow Him to redefine my value, my character, even my name.
This weekend and for the following three weeks, we will be talking about “Stories of Resurrection”. Not people being raised from the dead, but people being raised from death to life. Do you get the difference? I hope that you will by the time Easter has passed us by.
