The Resurrection
This week we discuss the Resurrection of Jesus in a continuation of last week's message about the Cross.
Three things that are important for us to know about the Cross before we move onto the Resurrection: Jesus has Risen, Jesus was the one in control over death, and if Christ has not been raised from the dead your faith is worthless.
From the Cross we step into the Resurrection, and we discover why it is so important. The Resurrection is the divine receipt that forgiveness is ours; and not only that, but it is the basis for our peace.
So, what turns fear into joy? The finished work of Jesus in both the Cross and the Resurrection. Knowing and believing Jesus died on the cross and is risen is not only proof your sins are gone, but it brings peace, security, safety, and prosperity.
