The Resurrection and the Life
All of us carry burdens and struggles. They can be physical, psychological, emotional. What do we most need in order to make sense of it all. Twice in John 11, Jesus points His disciples and then Martha to the glory of God. Looking at life's difficulties through God's glory changes how we carry those burdens and struggles. Jesus wants us to challenge us to understand what we believe.
Resurrection Hope
Can you live without hope? Where do you place your hope when things are going well or when things are going not so well? Many times we look at our circumstances and we say, "I hope this changes," "I hope this goes away," "I hope that it won't be another rainy day today." Peter points us to a hope beyond our circumstances. He shows us a resurrection hope that gives life, security, and joy! Where is your hope?
Responses to the Resurrection of Jesus
Thank you to Rev. Lynn Downing for providing our message today!
Resurrection Matters
According to the laws of nature, dead bodies do not come back to life. Period - end of investigation! But the disciples were faced with overwhelming evidence that clearly flew in the face of established scientific dogma? They saw Jesus alive! What could they do? They believed, and never wavered from that belief through all manner of persecution, torture and even martyr's deaths. Jesus said to Thomas, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed." (John 20:29) "Alleluia, He is risen indeed!"
