The most important part of the message of the cross is that Jesus after He accomplished our justification by His death rose to life to ever intercede for us!
Alleluia, Christ is risen, Alleluia. Jesus Christ is risen today!
Note from Peter Hubbard
Easter is a big deal! Why? Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ so central and so significant? Here are a few reasons:
The resurrection of Jesus is…
• the sign for unbelievers (Matthew 12:38-40)
• the comfort for believers (Luke 24:36-39)
• the core of the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-5)
• the subject of early preaching (Acts 4:2)
• the catalyst for evangelism (Luke 24:45-48)
• the daily fuel for victorious living (Romans 8:1-11)
• the basis of fruitful service (1 Corinthians 15:58)
• the confidence of future resurrection (1 John 3:2)
• the hope of eternal inheritance (1 Peter 1:3-5)
Without the resurrection of Jesus, “we are of all men most pitiable.” So it is virtually impossible to over-emphasize our Lord’s resurrection. He is alive! Join us this Sunday as we celebrate His victory over fear, doubt and death!
