This Easter Sunday, Pastor Josh shares three implications of why the resurrection should seize us into astonishment: the victory over death, the forgiveness of sins, and the real hope we have.
- We all have a reaction to the resurrection driven by our worldview. But the women’s reaction in the Gospel of Mark is unique: trembling joy and astonishment.
- We so often miss the astonishing nature of the resurrection. To avoid this, we should remember all that the resurrection implies and brings.
- The resurrection means real victory over death. Death is no longer permanent.
- The resurrection means sins are really forgiven. The atoning death of Jesus is shown as credible and full by the resurrection.
- The resurrection means there really is hope. Christians have an inheritance with God to look forward to because Jesus rose from the dead.
