As we celebrate Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we look closer at Luke’s account of the Resurrection, the grave was not the last word. He Lives!!!
On this Easter Sunday we look at the 7 last words spoken during His last hours on the cross, specifically unpacking one little word “TETELESTAI” (Greek for It is Finished).
The Resurrection of Jesus brings hope, spiritual life in the present, and the promise of eternal life in perfection. The resurrection account shows us how the disciples went from lost and hopeless to stewards of the Good News.
What do you see in the Easter story? Do you see the risen Jesus who has died for your sins and risen from the dead to give you new life? Do you see grief of Mary that was turned to joy because Jesus is alive? Do you see Jesus as the teacher, the one who can show you how to truly live life? Do you see, or better yet, do you hear Jesus calling your name? Put yourself in John’s account of the Jesus’ resurrection and hear Jesus calling you into a new life with Him.
This morning as we gather to celebrate the manner that Jesus rose from the dead we will consider some of our own feelings about death and the way Jesus helps us to overcome death.
