Come and See: His Cross & Resurrection

His Cross & Resurrection

Luke 23-24

Main Thing to Know:

The Easter story changes my story

1. The cross allows us to live with God

Christ was sent not to mend wounded people or wake sleepy people or advise confused people or inspire bored people or spur on lazy people or educate ignorant people, but to raise dead people.

—Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly

How the death of Jesus changes us:

•  Before, we were dead; now we are alive
•  Before, we were enemies of God; now we are children of God
• Before, we were cast away; now we are invited in

2. The resurrection allows us to live for God

Authentic Christianity . . . is supernatural Christianity. It is not a tame and harmless ethic, consisting of a few moral platitudes, spiced with a dash of religion. It is a resurrection religion, a life lived by the power of God.

—John Stott, Christ the Conversationalist

The Risen & Resurrected Jesus:

• Removes guilt from our past
• Provides strength for our present
• Offers hope for our future
