It is great to gather on this Resurrection Sunday! On Easter, and every other day of the year, we must confront the fact that Scripture records that a man actually rose from the dead. And that He didn’t just crawl and kick His way out of of a botched funeral attempt, but arose out of the tomb claiming to have triumphed over death itself. And He offers that same triumph to anyone who would ask Him for it by faith as well. And not only that but the Christian faith stakes the entirety of its truthfulness on this one belief. So Easter Sunday is a day that we should either feel a great sense of pity for the poor souls that believe this man rose from the dead. Or it should be the most exciting day of the year where we celebrate exceedingly that because of Jesus we might finally be able to truly live.
