• Ministry of the Word: Fear and Joy at the Resurrection of Jesus
  • The shock and surprise at the miracle of Resurrection may sometimes be lost. We sometimes forget how amazing this is. What would it be like to hear about it for the first time?
  • We must not be casual about this.
  • What comes to mind when you hear the name Jesus? We probably think first of his character, his works, and his words. We should think of Jesus' sacrifice. Jesus took on the role of servant.
  • Jesus is glorified now. Jesus is done being humiliated.
  • Jesus is now brilliant like the sun. He voice is like the sound of rushing water. Jesus resurrection is a thing of power that we cannot even comprehend.
  • The witnesses to Jesus after his resurrection speak of being terrified at the sight of Jesus. They were struck with fear and fell to the ground as if they were dead.
  • Jesus lives because he loves.
