- The resurrection is the fulfillment of every promise proclaimed by Jesus and God's word.
- Where you are born & where you go to church does not determine if you are a Christian. Belief in Jesus & following Him as Lord is salvation.
- Easter, more specifically the death and resurrection of Jesus, is the ultimate revelation of God’s love to us.
- "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” AW Tozer
- How we view God will affect how we see ourselves, our life and our future. Make sure you have a proper perspective.
- Jesus is still talked about b/c He proclaimed to be the Son of God, died & rose again. Not just b/c He was a good teacher.
- We celebrate daily the words spoken at the empty tomb, "He is risen! He is not here."
- Jesus' words in John 14:6 are not exclusionary. It's a hard truth, but it's an open invitation.
- The cross is not a symbol of death, but of victory. It is our sign that God has locked arms with us, fought with us, and we have won.
- The cross is a sign of victory even in the difficult times. It is our hope.
- Jesus' love was proactive. His love was a choice. His love set us free. His love brings us peace, joy, hope, victory.
- Jesus is the dividing point of history (BC/AD). He can be the same for your life. Life after Christ = a life changed, free & full of hope.
