Easter 2026 ~ The Life Changer

Theme: Jesus changes people forever through His death and resurrection.

Why did Christ come?

1. Because we were separated from God. (Leviticus 11:45; Isaiah 43:15; 59:2; John 3:36; Romans 3:23; 6:23; Ephesians 2:12, 15, 16, 19; Colossians 1:21; 2:14)
2. Because only He could save us.

What did Christ’s death and resurrection accomplish?

1. The agony and atonement of the cross. (Matthew 26:38, 56; 27:45-46, 50; Mark 15:33-37; Luke 22:44, 54; John 19:25-27, 30; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24-25)
2. The amazing result of the resurrection. (Matthew 25:46; Luke 24:46-47; John 17:13; Acts 4:24-25; 5:31; 17:30-31; Romans 4:24-25; 5:1; 6:4; 7:4; 8:1, 38-39; 1 Corinthians 15:17, 21-23, 42-43; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:6; 4:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Peter 1:3)

How can we be changed?

1. The example and decision of the disciples. (Matthew 28:16-17; Mark 16:10-14; Luke 24:11-12, 13-53; John 20:3-9, 19-29)
2. The question and decision for us. (Luke 24:11-12; John 14:6; 20:31; Romans 10:9-10)
