The Resurrection & The Life – Easter

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die…” – John 11:25

Throughout the course of the year great emphasis is placed on the cross, and rightly so. The cross of Christ is a powerful symbol for us of the love and forgiveness of God. We cannot know who God is apart from the cross. It reminds us of the cost of our sinfulness, and God’s goodness in that He is willing to pay the cost Himself.

Often, the resurrection is kept at a simmer on the backburner of our spiritual lives. I believe this happens for a few reasons, it is often overshadowed by the cross and the power of that symbol. But it is also harder for us to get a handle on. If the cross is the payment of God’s love, then the resurrection is the proof of God’s power. Join us this Easter Sunday as we explore this great gift – that still changes us, and still changes our world!
