Easter 2023
The Day That God Made Everything OK!
1. Hope has been Restored!
2. Sin has been Destroyed!
3. Death has been Defeated!
4. He Is Risen
The deepest love poured out of the greatest sacrifice in history. A love that heals. A love that forgives. A love that welcomes. 
This Easter we celebrate the power of Christ’s resurrection! 
Almost no one debates Jesus’ existence.
Detractors acknowledge He is real.
Those who love his teaching have allowed Him to transform their lives. They help the poor, love the outcast, bless the lowly, serve whoever they can, forgive outrageously.
John 14:6  NIV
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus didn’t come to start a religion.
He came to minister, He came to amaze, and He came to bring and eternal message.
CONSIDER THE MINISTRY OF JESUS. 
Mark 2:16-17 NIV
When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw [Jesus] eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” 
Those whom others despised, Jesus loved and accepted!
He opened blind eyes, healed deaf ears, mute to speak, touched lepers, turned water to wine, walked on water, and raised dead.
Critics didn’t question validity of his miracles, they just wanted him to stop!
CONSIDER THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
Acts 3:15 NIV
You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. (Peter)
The cross demonstrated how much Jesus loathed the effects of sin.
But the resurrection demonstrated His eternal desire to see us living lives of faith and wonder.
His resurrection made sense of our hopes, purpose and faith:
1 Corinthians 15:14,20 NLT
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
———————————————————————————-
CONSIDER THE ETERNAL MESSAGE OF JESUS.
Romans 3:22 NLT
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 
Christ + nothing = everything
Through his ministry, his resurrection and His eternal message Jesus can turn nothing into something!
It is done and not you must do!
Do – makes it about us. Makes us believe that if I obey God will love me!
Done – makes it all about Jesus! Because He loves me I can obey!
