Christ’s Resurrection

[The angel at the tomb said,] “He is not here, for he has risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6).

The resurrection changes everything!

Christ’s resurrection is God’s trumpet blast to the world that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross paid for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2, Colossians 2:14). Even your sin! And by rising from the dead, Christ destroyed death from the inside out. Death no longer has the final say. Yes, we grieve when we lose a loved one, but we do not grieve without hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). The thought of our own physical death may bring some anxiety, but then we remember that everyone will be raised from the dead (John 5:28-29). Those who die trusting in Jesus as their Savior will enjoy the restoration of all creation and a happy reunion.
