    Who needs Easter?


    What is Easter?


    Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

    - John 14:6


    We don’t have the Resurrection because of the Bible.

    We have the Bible because of the Resurrection.


    Matthew

    Mark
    Luke
    John
    Peter
    James
    Paul


    Paul the Apostle

    Martyred 62-64 C.E. 
    Letter to Corinth 53-54 C.E. 
    Jesus crucified 33 C.E. 
    20yr difference not 300yrs+


    I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed onto me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.

    - 1st Corinthians 15:3-8


    He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day.

    - 1st Corinthians 15:3-8


    He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive…

    - 1 Corinthians 15:3-8


    Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.

    - 1 Corinthians 15:3-8


    Resurrection > Movement > Scriptures


    Easter is about a King who conquered death on our behalf, out of love, and His name is Jesus!


    No Resurrection

    Jesus is a liar.
    No God who loves us.
    Evil wins.
    Good loses.
    Wrong is never fixed.
    Justice is a joke.
    We’re cosmic accidents.
    No meaning, No purpose.
    Good is just ‘made-up’


    But if the dead are not raised to life, then, as the saying goes, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

    - 1 Corinthians 15:32


    Easter Means

    God is loving and good.
    Jesus is God’s Son.
    Good wins, Evil looses.
    Busted isn’t final.
    Justice is coming.
    Mercy is coming.
    Mercy Triumphs.
    We have purpose.
    Life has meaning.
    Good is defined by God. 


    Who needs Easter? ALL of us


    “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

    - Jesus of Nazareth


    God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”

    - Jesus of Nazareth


    Love like Jesus’ is worthy of our response, today…

    - Remember
    - Receive
    - Research
    - Rebuff
