He Is Risen!

…do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.  Matt 28:5-6

According to one study, there are approximately 4,200 religions practiced in the world.  Of these, a dozen are considered “major religions”, in that they have a large following, have one or more “holy books”, and have an identifiable set of beliefs.

But what makes one different from another? Is there one God, with different paths?  Do all roads lead to the same destination?  How can one religion claim to be true above the others?

Well, there is one defining aspect about Christianity that separates it from every other religion:  That Jesus Christ rose from the grave!  Buddha is dead, Mohammed is dead, and Confucius is dead.  You can visit their tombs.  But there is no tomb for the Lord Jesus Christ, His tomb is empty!

Spme have set out to prove that the resurrection of Jesus was a myth, only to find that the evidence proves the resurrection!  Men such as Lee Stroebel, and Josh McDowell set out to prove that Christianity was false, and ended up becoming believers as the evidence was set before them.

That is the true message of the cross:  Yes Jesus died, and His death paid the price for my sin.  But Jesus not only died, He also rose from the grave!  And His victory over death is a sign to us that we will share in this victory:

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection… Rom 6:5

None of the other 4,199 other religions can deliver this promise!

Join us this Sunday, as we look the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Till the whole world hears...
