Ressurection Sunday – Risen and Alive!

Easter is the greatest event in human history. The fact that Jesus is risen and alive changes everything. Today is the day we celebrate our risen Savior!

 

Mark 16: 1-8 NLT

1 Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went out and purchased burial spices so they could anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on Sunday morning,[a] just at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3 On the way they were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4 But as they arrived, they looked up and saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled aside.

5 When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right side. The women were shocked, 6 but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. 7 Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”

8 The women fled from the tomb, trembling and bewildered, and they said nothing to anyone because they were too frightened.

 

1 Corinthians 15:14-19 NLT

14 And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. 15 And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. 16 And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. 18 In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! 19 And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.

 

What if Jesus Didn’t Rise from the Dead?

  1. Our Faith Would Be Empty and Useless
  2. There is No Forgiveness of Sins
  3. There is No Hope of Heaven
  4. We are to be Pited More Than Anyone Else

 

Because Jesus is Risen from the Dead…

  1. Your Faith is Rock Solid
  2. Your Sins Can Be Forgiven
  3. There is Hope for the Future
  4. We are Not to be Pitied, We are to be Envied
