The resurrection of Jesus is a world-changing event, but it can be hard sometimes to know why it should matter to us. This sermon argues that the resurrection is only understood rightly when we see it as part of God's ongoing mission of rescue from oppression. It's a mission which continues today and inspires us to faithful service in that same cause of freedom.

Scripture reference: Luke 24:1-12

Preached on the Easter Vigil, April 20, 2019 by the Rev. Lisa Pacarynuk
