S8E52: The Son Has Risen (Easter 2015)

Sermon #109

Because of the resurrection of Jesus, we have assurance that all the promises of God through Jesus Christ are true, and we can rely upon the faith of God in order to grow our own faith in Him.  Because of the resurrection we are offered new life, not just in the life to come but in this life.  When we die to self, we are born again and raised in the resurrection of Christ, and that is how the transformation happens, that takes someone who was opposed to God and turns them into a faithful proclaimer of the good news.  And just as Jesus left the empty tomb, we who are born again in Christ leave behind those things that lead to death.

Mark 16:1-8
