Forever Changed: Easter 2024

Series: Easter

Speaker: Mickey Lohr

Bible Passage: Mark 16:1-8

CONSIDER THIS

Some things always stay the same. Take for example holiday traditions: Easter bunnies. Deviled eggs. Church. Family brunch. When it comes right down to it, Easter is all about change. The resurrection of Jesus changed the course of history and forever changes our lives today.

The resurrection is a history-making, life-transforming, eternity-changing truth. You may appreciate it, maybe even believe it, but do you understand how it changes you forever?

Consider, as if for the first time: who Jesus is, His life, His death, His resurrection, what it all means. Don’t take the resurrection for granted, as if it’s just another story we hear once a year. The truth of the resurrection is just as shocking today as the day it first took place — because Jesus is still alive. Allow that truth to sink in. 

The resurrection changes us — most notably, giving us an authentic intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior. He is the One who transforms us, providing victory, hope, freedom, grace, eternal life and so much more. He is all that matters. It naturally changes the way we look at life, look in the mirror, look at others around us — giving us a new perspective, a new way to live and love and be. Allow His grace to change you. Forever.

And then share it  — with everyone you meet — as if the resurrection just took place a few moments ago. No need to whisper, mutter or mumble. Proclaim it loud and clear. People are dying to hear the Truth.
