The Purpose for Easter

1 Corinthians 15:12-23

Apostle Paul not only has faith in the Cross and His Blood, but also in His Resurrection.

I have a question: are you ready to change?

The reason why we celebrate Easter is because of Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection.

Jesus said, “Come to Me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest.

I’m excited when I think about all the other world religions. Jesus alone steps out from Buddha, Mohammed, from Latios, from Confucius, all the others that want me to embrace all their concepts.

Jesus says , “Yes I want you to follow all my teachings, but I want you to first accept me.”

We cannot embrace His teaching if we don’t receive Him first and let Him live on the inside and then allow Him to live through us.

If we take away His resurrection you don’t have the unique religion. It is unique because our Savior has conquered every obstacle including death itself.

On Paul’s second missionary journey he experienced lots of evil. They were into pagan worship.

Jesus said, “I’ve been your Comforter and Teacher, but I’m going to go somewhere but I will allow a Comforter to dwell in you.”

“You will receive power to be effective evidence of the Resurrection.”

When you receive the Father you will have life.

Other religions say when you’re dead you’re done, but with the last breath we proceed on into heaven through the pearly gates if we are alive to Christ.

The Master says, “All power is in my authority; I have won the battle.”

Tell me, if God was dead why was the stone rolled away.

When you wait on God, He will fill you with the Holy Ghost.

Jesus smacked the jaws of death.

And because He lives I live today.

He walks with me and talks with me.

On Good Friday, His blood was drained out.

He spoke to the demons in prison.

On Easter He was made alive.

That same Jesus is coming back again.

I want to be ready. Do you?

When He comes He is going to be a thief in the night.

When He comes I want to be called up to meet Him in the air.

He died so we can live.

He came to take us out of the miry clay of this earth.

You are out to tell someone, His Resurrection is not the end of the story.

It isn’t about us to just get saved.

The reason we can say, “Who the Son sets free is free indeed,” is because He completed the mission.

Let go and let God.
