Summary
The resurrection of Jesus Christ—His death and resurrection—is Christianity's greatest historical achievement and the gospel's foundation. This truth saves believers from sin and death, withstands historical scrutiny, and radically transforms lives for ministry and mission.
Highlights
The cross of Christ, Good Friday, that was God writing the check for your sins, the payment. The resurrection, Easter Sunday, that's the demonstration that the check cleared.
They don't wanna die for a lie. And it's not something they were told by their Sunday school teacher. It's something they saw firsthand. They said, hey, cowards to courageous. Why, because they saw the resurrected Lord.
When I believed in that, that I'm saved by grace, then I started to do good things. Then I started to live a life out of obedience that God desires for me. Isn't that crazy ironic?
