Without the resurrection of Jesus, I would have to wonder if he wasn’t just a human being. If my last view of him is a criminal crucified on a cross, he would look like someone to be rejected. He couldn’t even help himself, much less anyone else!
But he lives, and it makes a difference. He is the only way to heaven. This gospel message is the most inclusive message in the world. The benefits of the resurrection of Jesus are meant for every man, woman, and child who has ever lived.

He lives to restore my hope.
Thanks to Jesus' resurrection, my hope for the future is restored. I have victory over the feeling of hopelessness, because the one who heals me and gives me a better life is himself alive.
Join us for worship this week as Jesus restores our hope

I can walk through a cemetery where loved ones are buried. What do I feel? Sadness as I think of their departure? Fear that I will soon join them? Without the resurrection of Jesus, I fear death and I continue to cry. But he lives, and it makes a difference. Jesus is the resurrection first fruits for the harvest of humanity. Dead is not dead forever. Death is not final at all! My deceased Christian loved ones are not gone forever. I will see them again. Jesus will do what he promised. He dries my tears. He takes away my fears.

On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion and death
of our Lord. The Son of Man was lifted up on the cross to
the glory of God and for our salvation. While others see a
wounded man, we see the source of eternal salvation.
We pray to him with confidence, remembering what he
has done for us.

We need to be washed clean in the blood of Jesus. Our own need can distract and overwhelm us with the details of our sin and our guilt. Blood always gets our attention, but it can make us feel queasy and uneasy. Jesus wants to lift our eyes above all that to his marvelous promise of forgiveness. Where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation. The Lord’s Supper gives us a
glimpse of the heavenly feast where we will eat of the eternal manna and drink from the river of God’s delights forever.

You are going about your daily business. There is a crowd. You are easily distracted by all the activity. It’s a holiday, and there are extra things to prepare. It is easy to focus on your personal task at hand and lose sight of the bigger picture.
Focus! Look up! There is a King who presents himself so humbly that you might miss the importance of his arrival. Hail the King who humbly comes to save us!

Our human nature tells us to fear death. Did we live a
good enough life? Will we be remembered? What will my
legacy be?

Jesus promises far better. He promises life through him.
Join us for worship as we reflect on how God gives us
exactly what we need: life.

I recognize my deep spiritual thirst. I long for a good
relationship with God and for everlasting life. I am
tempted to satisfy that deep thirst with worldly things, a
strategy doomed to failure. I realize that my thirst is
satisfied only by the one who said, “Whoever drinks the
water I give them will never thirst.” Jesus meets my
greatest need.
