The Day After
https://youtu.be/O5Ehm6KUeYM
Today is Easter- The day we set aside to commemorate the day that Jesus rose from the deadIf you don’t know the Easter story- let me give you a quick synopsisJesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, had about a 3 year ministry in which he performed Signs and Miracles to draw people to hear the good news- That was- God was reconciling himself to man through his son, Jesus Christ- Jesus spent most of his ministry preaching to people that the Kingdom of God was here and that they should turn to GodThe Jewish religious leaders at the time brought legal charges against him because he claimed to be God and broke Jewish law- He had committed no crime because he was God in the flesh. They crucified him even tho he was innocent of all charges.Jesus crucifixion was the blood penalty paid to God on our behalf for all the sins of mankind.How do we know this? Upon his death, they put Jesus in a tomb and 3 days later he came back from the dead and proved he was God and that we could live forever with him.Jesus declared it, the prophets declared it, the word of God declares it.Today for Easter- I want to focus on one scripture that to me encapsulates the promise of todayMany a Easter has been spent saying WHAT happened and WHY it happened, but we do we do NOW? What do we do the day after Easter?We talk about the tomb, the resurrection, the players. Most if not all of you know the story of the death burial and resurrection of our savior- its central to our faith- but not central to our experience. Jesus commanded us to remember him during communion- but his promises went far past the cross, tomb, and the resurrection.That resurrection power of Jesus was there on that first easter and its still here for us TODAYHow do we live in Jesus the day after Easter? Now that the tomb is empty- now what?(We as Americans are very goal, graduate, get the job, spouse etc, but then what?)John 14:19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.- BUT HOW DO WE LIVE? we’ll get to it in a minute
THAT’S A PROMISE- BECAUSE HE LIVES WE WILL LIVE ALSO- A GREAT LIVING LIFE IN HIM
Jesus wants you to LIVE after the resurrection- not just exist but to LIVE
There were a lot of statements Jesus made prior to this in John 14He promises mansions in heaven v2 In My Father’s house are many mansions;He promises that he is preparing a place for us I go to prepare a place for you.He promised that he would come back 3 I will come again and receive you to Myself;He Promises that we will go with him to heaven that where I am, there you may be also.He declares he is the only way to heaven- v6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.He declares that he is God in v7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”v9 He who has seen Me has seen the Father;He declares the disciples will do greater works than him v12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do,He declares that HE will answer prayer- 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you [c]ask anything in My name, I will do it.He promises the Holy Spirit- 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—He promises that he will come to us- 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.And then the greatest promise- “Because I live, you will live also”What a promise! That we will LIVE because of HIM!He loves us and we love HIM by keeping his commandments- 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.
