The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the most exciting “good news” in the Bible. Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, those who believe have the hope of forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Jesus verified He was from God when He rose again, making these promises true!
But there is another exciting component to the resurrection. Prior to His crucifixion Jesus had this exchange with His disciples:
Matthew 16:13-18 “Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (ESV)
Not only do we receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life, evil and the devil have no more power over us—we are free to live the way God wants us to live!
So please join us for breakfast and attend one of two services on Easter Sunday, April 20, to celebrate how we can prevail in life because of Jesus’ resurrection!
