He Is Alive! Believe & Live!

March 31, 2024

Mt 28:1-10, 16-17; Mk 16:4-8; Lk 24:1-12, 21-24, 36-45, 52-53; John 20:1-29 — Resurrection Sunday — He is risen. Jesus Christ, our Lord, is alive indeed. How does this reality influence, shape, and transform our worldviews, beliefs, feelings, thinking, and actions? How do we respond to the reality that Jesus Christ is alive? The resurrection should inspire and drive us to continually worship God acceptably with reverence and awe (Heb 12:28). Because of the resurrection, we should continue to work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Php 2:12). At the cross and through the resurrection we have become new creations, kingdom citizens, children of God. Therefore, let us now live as such.

This concludes our Lent series for 2024 — At the Cross—Who Are You?
