Main Idea:

The heart of Easter is resurrection. Everything in fact about Christianity is about resurrection. That is resurrecting into our spiritual bodies for eternity and for the dead things in our current lives that God brings to life. But sometimes, the things that we need God to resurrect are the things unseen.

But why is it that we so easily forget about God’s power to resurrect? Or maybe, it’s just that we doubt His ability to send resurrection power to our lives. We know it’s possible for others but not for ourselves. In fact, most Christians today feel so confused about their own faith, that they doubt whether or not it’s okay to celebrate Easter, the very holiday that represents the foundation of their faith.

Today we are going to look at key story points of Jesus' resurrection and see how He was able to bring back to life the things that seemed to have died. But before we do, I want us to understand the symbolism of Easter and how it personifies God’s resurrection nature. God constantly uses nature itself to show us His nature.

The very creation of the earth shows this depiction of something dead being brought to life. And we continue to see God’s power and nature of resurrection all around us in His intelligent design. Just think of the life of a seed. Something that seems dead and void of possibilities but is miraculously brought to life in an incredibly vibrant and beautiful way. (Genesis 1:1-5)
