Conclusion:

Confront:

The Resurrection reminds me of my ever present need for Jesus’ resurrection in my life. I can see God do so many wonderful and powerful things like the Israelites in the wilderness outside of Egypt, conquering my Pharoah’s only to find myself quibbling with God and others about un-satisfaction in life.

The resurrection is factual!

The resurrection of Jesus must be shared

Comfort:

Just like Jesus came near and revealed himself to Mary outside of the tomb in her darkness and most hopeless hour, he comes to you as well. When you faith is weak! When despair is creeping in? In our desperation!

The resurrection of Jesus is for living

Connect:

If you are not a Christian or much of a church person, the last thing I want you to do is just “come to church.” I want you to meet Jesus like I have and learn to walk with him and you too learn your need for His resurrection. You nor I are Thor. We are not worthy. There is no Hammer of Thor that we will earn one day!

The resurrection of Jesus must be believed personally.
