He Lives! He Lives! Jesus Christ Lives
April 24, 2011
Today we welcome you to our Easter Service celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord. We have already had a Sunrise Service at the crosses. If you were there, you felt the power of the Lord as we followed Him in the scriptures to the Cross and watched him die three days later and then come alive. He Lives. He Lives. Today we share the message again. The children will share how they see the story of Easter and our choir will sing about how they see the resurrection, and I will preach concerning the Resurrection. This is the Sunday that we as Christians hold to and believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
When I write about sins, I believe it is our past sins, present sins, and our future sins. God the Father accepted the perfect offering of his dear son Jesus Christ. The one who knew no sin yet became sin for us. “The Just for the Unjust.” Peter in his writing in First Peter 1:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” The unjust were you and I, the just was Christ. The Apostle Paul put it so beautifully in Second Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Luke stated in Acts 2:24 “Whom God hath raised up having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.”
I believe that Jesus rose from the dead. I believe that God accepted the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. I believe that Jesus was seen by the Apostles after the Resurrection. I believe that over 500 people saw him alive after his death on the cross. First Corinthians 15:6 “After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep” If you don’t believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ then you have no Salvation, you have no Eternal Life. My Saviour is Alive and today we Sing about, Preach about, and Shout about it.
