The celebration of the resurrection is the greatest day on the calendar. It commemorates the greatest day in all of human history. But it’s not just a significant day in history, it’s personal; the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to God’s plan for your life today. The personal significance and meaning of the resurrection is found in one of the simplest verses in all of the Bible, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

God sent His Son because He loves you and He does not want you to perish, but to have everlasting life. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.… Do you believe this?”

Someone might ask, “How can you say this? Surely you know that everyone dies.” Of course I know that people die, I know that very well. Losing our daughter was the most difficult thing we’ve ever endured, but it was her body that died. Her soul lives, she was given eternal life because she asked Jesus into her heart as Lord and Savior.

Everyone will die a physical death, the statistics on that are pretty impressive; one out of every one people die physically. The older you get the more you understand that. When you’re young that’s harder to grasp. Some take the perspective of the famous song by the Rolling Stones, “Time is on My Side.” Although if you’ve seen Mick Jagger and Keith Richards lately, you would have to say that time is definitely not on their side. Let’s just say if they went shopping at Forever 21 they would be escorted out.

When Jesus died on the cross He paid the penalty for our sin; when He was raised from the grave on the third day He defeated death so that it is no longer master over us. God Sent His son so that we can have a future and a hope.

Do you have hope? What do you put your hope in? Are you hoping that one of the current candidates for president can solve all of our problems? Are you putting your hope in the amazing strength of the United States economy? Even EF Hutton wouldn’t advise that.

Sometimes devastating things happen in life that cause people to lose hope. Finances blow up and you can’t pay the bills, someone close to you dies and you can’t fill the emptiness, your marriage is in shambles and you don’t know what to do, or your health tragically turns for the worse.

The resurrection is about having life instead of death. The resurrection is about having hope from God instead of despair. He ignites our soul and fills our lives with meaning and purpose and transforms us by His presence in our lives

If Jesus remained in the grave, then He was just another spiritual teacher. If Jesus remained in the grave, then our preaching is empty, our faith is in vain and you are still in your sins. If Jesus is still dead, then what’s the point of getting together for church? What’s the point of worship? There would be no reason to celebrate, because there would be no hope.

God sent His Son to become the resurrection and the life by conquering death, but it must be personally applied. The resurrection of Jesus takes place on the first day of the week at the dawning of a new day. This becomes a picture that when you receive Jesus into your life it’s the dawning of a new day, it’s just the beginning of experiencing life and life to the full.
