Christ Is Risen!
He Is Risen Indeed!
Worship Series | Because He Lives
April 20—June 8
In this season of Easter, it is good we review the details: who, when, where. That reminds us that the resurrection of Christ is not fairytale or fable. It is a historical event . . . the historical event. However, we do ourselves a disservice if we simply recall the historic details of Easter without thinking long and hard about Easter’s significance. Jesus won. That means something! It is our privilege and pleasure to use the fifty days of Easter to discuss this fact: because he lives, not only is our eternity secure, but we have abundant resources to face the present.

We Have a Whole New Identity
It is as simple as this. Because Jesus lives, we have a whole new identity: not sinners, but redeemed saints; not rebels, but God’s chosen nation; not doomed, but saved; not only servants, but sons and daughters of God Almighty; not losers, but victorious, because Christ gives us the victory. The living Lord has given us a whole new identity. It is all because of him. It is all because he lives.

Death Has Lost Its Sting
Death can sting in many ways. Note that word can. Because Christ lives, death has lost its sting for those who put their faith in the living Lord. So, while death may still cause tears, death does not cause dread. Because he lives, death has lost its sting.
