10 Facts About the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Messiah was dead. Messiah was buried. Messiah was gone.

And let me just stop right there. Could it be there's something dead, buried and gone in your life? (One or two of you are tearing up right now?)

Listen. Nothing is ever dead, nothing is ever buried, nothing is ever gone with Christ still on the throne of the universe. And He is! (Revelation 1:18)

It all comes down to the resurrection. It's what separates Christianity from all other religions ~ the empty tomb. It's what separates Jesus from all other religious leaders ~ the empty tomb.

You have hope today. (Yes, I'm talking to you.) And the disciples would have had it, too, that day long ago after Crucifixion Friday and before Easter Sunday if they'd listened to the words of Jesus and believed in who He was. (Luke 24:25-26)

Listen again. God has a habit of bringing life out of death. (It's a great habit.) He raised Jesus from the dead. (He is risen indeed!) God can (and will!) bring life out of death whatever it might happen to be that concerns you. (Who needed to hear it?)
