The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in all human history. God’s entire plan of the ages rests on that one glorious event. But what you also need to know is that God’s entire plan for your life rests on that glorious event as well.
The personal significance and meaning of the resurrection is found in one of the simplest verses in all the Bible, “God loved the world (and that includes you) so much that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
In other words, the reason God sent His Son is because He loves you and doesn’t want you to perish. He wants you to have everlasting life. Someone might say, “Why would God love me? He’s holy and righteous and surely he knows about all the messes and mistakes I’ve made, why would he want anything to do with me?”
It’s God’s nature to love and He sent His Son so the world would know just how much He loves. He sent His Son to seek and to save that which was lost, He’s pursuing you. That’s love. He’s knocking on the door of your heart, He’s calling out your name, and He wants you to open the door of your heart so you can have a relationship to God as your Father.
You may be a sinner; but it just so happens that He’s a forgiver, He’s a redeemer. He gives righteousness to sinners as a gift, you don’t even have to earn it. Eternal life is a gift, you just have to ask.
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 say, “How can you say this? Surely you know that everyone dies.” Of course I know everyone dies, I know that very well. When our daughter was killed a couple of years ago it 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 death are pretty impressive; something like 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. When you’re young it seems like you live forever, but the truth is you’re growing until about 22 years old, and then it’s all downhill from there.
God sent His Son so we would have hope beyond the grave. Death is not the end. When you breathe your last you don’t simply cease to exist, God made our souls to be eternal. The question is what happens after we breath our last breath on this earth. God sent His Son so we would have hope beyond this life.
Do you have hope? What do you put your hope in?
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
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. Some people in this room are just one sunrise away from God turning your life around.
