Happy Easter! Jesus Is Alive!


Jesus claims to be the giver of life, true life, abundant life, eternal life.  He says things like this:  “Life is found in me!” 

Well, He can only be the giver of life, if He has experienced victory over death, himself.

And victory over death is what we proclaim at Easter.  Jesus is risen from the dead!  He has experienced victory over sin and death!  The grave could not hold Him!  Evil could not defeat Him.

He’s alive!  And because Jesus lives, you and I can live!  We can have life in Him.

Praise God for the resurrection of Jesus; for the truth of who Jesus is; for forgiveness of sins; for the hope that we have in Him; for life! 

Happy Easter, Jesus is alive!

He's Alive!


I suppose that when they killed Jesus they somewhat naturally assumed: “That takes care of that.”  Death by crucifixion is known to be quite final. 

“There!  We won’t have to deal with this Jesus character anymore,” is no doubt what they believed.

But something happened.

Imagine the various reactions:  Surprise.  Joy.  Fear.  Disbelief.  Awe.  Bewilderment.  Worship.

And then these words began to ripple through the community:  “He’s alive!”

They’re still rippling through the community today.

He’s alive!
