The Joy & Hope of the Resurrection

We Christians simply cannot get over the reality of the Resurrection. For us, the fact that God raised Christ from the dead proves that Christ’s way alone is God’s answer to the sins and horrors of the world. The truths Christ brought when He walked on earth stand solid and irrefutable. The light He brought is the only light that never goes out, for it is the eternal light of God’s glory.

     The hope which Christ offers us is the only true and lasting hope. Ultimately, it is our only real assurance that life can be good and joyous for those who trust in Him.

     Jesus triumphed over death to give us life.  Abundant life. Eternal life.  His death, burial, and resurrection bring us joy as we live for Him in the here and now, and hope as we look forward to His second coming.  On Easter – and every other day of the year – we have plenty of reason to celebrate and worship our risen Savior! 

He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
