Today as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we will look to the timelessly amazing paradox of the empty tomb. We know it’s glorious!!! We know it’s life-giving!!! But there’s more there we can say.

King Jesus really did rise from the grave! We know that. We believe that. But we, by God’s sweet providence, have been given proof to support that belief. Our belief is never baseless.

Paul is seeking in this passage to both encourage and call on his listeners to encourage others to be hopeful about those who have died in Christ. It is absolutely not the end for them.

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).
(Luke 23:25-24:12)
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.
A living, growing, lively hope is one of the most important things that we gain through the resurrection of Jesus.
What can we learn from seeing the way the women and disciples responded to the resurrection. How did this change them, and how does it continue to change us today?
