Resurrection Sunday

Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

Acts 26:8 (NIV)

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pivotal event in biblical Christianity. No other religion makes the claim that their prophet, savior or teacher rose from the dead and was seen, heard, touched by their followers. Try as they might, the resurrection simply cannot be explained away; there were too many witnesses, at many times and places. to discount all of their testimony.

The resurrection provides the surest proof that Jesus was who He claimed to be: God incarnate. But it also provides a sure hope, hope for eternal life for those who believe.

As often as you’ve seen the signs held up at sporting events, have you ever really read John 3:16?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

So on this Easter Sunday, we say:

He is risen.

He is risen indeed!
