Easter (Resurrection Sunday) is a holiday when church pews are filled to the brim – and wonderfully so because the Easter story is Christianity 101.1. We have all sinned.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
2. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
“God made Him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him (Jesus) we might become the righteousness of God.” II Corinthians 5:21
3. He was buried and rose again on the 3rd day.
“…In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a livinghope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,” I Peter 1:3-4
God…In His great mercy has given us
• new birth (we were first born as human beings, we can now be born again as new creations in Christ)
• into a living hope
• through (by) the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
• into (and the result is) an inheritance* that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you (who believe)
*And this inheritance is as sure and eternal as Jesus’ own resurrection life – which is why and what we will celebrate on Resurrection Sunday!
