Easter Means…

John 3:2

Easter, the resurrection, what does it mean and why does it matter? There are a lot of things you could have done today rather than come to church. Over a billion people around the world will celebrate Easter today. How is it that something that took place so long ago still has an impact on the world in the 21st century? What does it mean?

A recent Gallup poll revealed that 84% of the people who never go to church, believe that Jesus rose from the dead. It's an historical fact. It wasn't done in secret. The whole city of Jerusalem knew about it and eventually the whole Roman Empire. It was news. If cable news had been there, they would have had it live.

There are at least 15 historical references to Jesus meeting with people, touching people, talking with people. One time He cooked breakfast for some people. One time He talked to about 500 people after He had risen from the dead. A lot of people saw Him. So again, what does it mean?

Three things:

I. Jesus Is Who He Claimed To Be

II. Jesus Has the Power He Claimed to Have

III. Jesus Does What He Promises To Do

Easter means that…

The resurrection means that…

Is that what it means to you? Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior? Come to Him today by simple faith.
