Atlantic Gospel Chapel Leadership 04-09-2023 // The Meaning and Importance of Easter

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul answers those who would claim that there is no resurrection of the dead.  If there is no resurrection, then Christ has not been raised.  "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins." (1 Corinthians 15:17, LSB).  Therefore, one of the key tenets of the Christian faith is the fact that Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead.  This is, as some have said, the Father's "Amen" to the Jesus' offering of Himself upon the Cross.

But as we celebrate Easter Sunday with Christians all over the world, there are still those who will try to claim that Easter is of no importance.  With this in mind, the Atlantic Gospel Chapel leadership team share in this Easter message to answer the following questions.

1. Who is Jesus?
2. Why does the life of Jesus matter?
3. Why does the death of Jesus matter?
4. How do we respond to Jesus in light of the resurrection?

Thank you for listening to today's lesson.  We pray you will be blessed through the teaching of God's Holy Word.
