Saints gathered to celebrate and worship the Easter of our Lord Jesus Grigado
I bless you in the name of the risen Jesus Christ over you and your family and business. Easter, along with Christmas, is a day of grace and thanksgiving, a day of hope, glory and pride.
Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected eleven days later.
Regarding this resurrection of Jesus, the writers of the four Gospels have in common the first 'new' after the Sabbath.
wall'.
This resurrection
It is the new morning of the salvation of mankind and the new morning of all things in the universe.
If Jesus ended his death on the cross, he would be no different from Confucius, Buddha, or Socrates. But Christianity is based on the event of the Resurrection.
First, the new morning of the resurrection of Jesus is the morning that gives new hope to mankind.
Peter said that he had a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to his abundant mercy, who hath begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).
This hope is incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading,
It is a direct company.
But the hope of the earth, the body on the earth, the hope of the flesh, etc. are time-limited.
“All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Peter 1:24).
Therefore, we should not put our hope in undetermined riches, but put our hope in God, who gives us abundantly all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).
Modern people boast of mechanical civilization and benefit from it a lot.
Convenient and prosperous too. However, they are abused, killed, and kicked out of their jobs. Hopes on earth are short-lived.
Only when we have the new hope that Jesus' resurrection brings us can we have eternal hope.
Second, the new morning of Jesus' resurrection is a new morning that gives confirmation of faith.
Jesus died on the cross and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, and the disciples
scattered all over the place. Peter said he would not deny the Lord even if he were to die, but he denied it three times.
Why? Without faith in the resurrection, Peter had no choice but to be weak.
Therefore, I slept during my worries and exams. I was trembling in fear.
But after seeing the risen Lord, I had a firm faith.
When the disciples saw the resurrected Jesus, they had confidence.
Resurrection faith.
Resurrection becomes the vital force of faith.
Resurrection is the heart of life-giving Christianity.
The resurrected Jesus is no longer in the tomb.
Christianity is a religion without graves.
Buddhist Buddha boasts that his tomb is located in Changshu, India, and famous temples contain his relics and even his nails.
Muslim Mohammed's tomb is in Mecca, Arabia
Confucianism is located in Changpyeong Hyangchu-eup. They boast graves.
But we boast in the risen Lord.
Those who do not have faith in the resurrection and those who still believe that the body of Jesus is in the tomb
It's like. They have neither confidence nor hope. Many people do not have faith in the resurrection and are struggling in the midst of endless tribulation in this world that is like a grave. We must show them the evidence of the resurrection.
Third, the morning of the resurrection of Jesus is the morning when the door to eternal life is opened.
It is the way of eternal life opened for us through the veil.
(Hebrews 1:20).
This door of eternal life was closed by Adam's sin.
Because Adam sinned, he was cast out of the Garden of Eden and stopped with a rotating fiery sword (Genesis 3:24).
Jesus broke the power of death and opened this closed door to eternal life.
Jesus cast off principalities and powers and triumphed on the cross.
Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection from the tomb allowed a new beginning in life.
The Lord said, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will never die..." (John 11:25).
If you hold the mark of the assurance of resurrection, the door of eternal life opens in front of you.
Finally, when the Lord Himself comes down with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, we believe that the dead in Christ rise first, and then we who are alive and remain are caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. It is the fact that the Lord is with us.
Certainly, the resurrection of Jesus gives life a living hope, gives the believer the assurance of faith, and becomes a new beginning in life.
Among the works written by the playwright Eugene O'Neill, a playwright, there is a work called 'Lazarus Laughed'. In Luke 16, Lazarus ends with the fact that he went to paradise after he died, but this writer stayed in paradise for 4 days and experienced paradise. I'm starting from the fact that I came back to the world after
However, after going to paradise, Lazarus appears in a completely different form.
Among them, the part that stood out in particular was the attitude towards money.
Lazarus, as we know it, was not only terribly poor, but also lived begging at the doorsteps of the wealthy because of his physical wealth. You may have longed to have more money and dreamed of becoming richer while eating like this/
However, the experience of four days in paradise made me think that everything in the world was a waste. He was able to laugh leisurely in front of money/ in front of the world's powers/ and in the face of the emperor who wanted to kill him again because Lazarus had experienced the glorious feeling of resurrection in paradise. are saying
Easter isn't just a feast, Resurrection should soon be our life
It must be manifested in our lives.
Faith is based on experience.
The early church members were willing to lay down their lives for their faith/
Also, the reason that the ancestors of faith were able to become sacrifices for martyrdom was because they had religious experiences.
That is the true meaning of celebrating Easter.
The moment you change into faith in the resurrection, the first thing you do is change at home. The couple's love gold room is revived. Hyosung to parents is revived. Love for children is resurrected. Brotherly friendship is also revived. Loyalty between friends is also revived. Family life is revived. Resurrection faith also revives business. Those who have faith in the resurrection never fall down and fail.
in human history
The most surprising event is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
If it were not for the historical fact of the resurrection
The crucifixion would have ended in failure.
Truly "Jesus is Risen!" This confession and fact is the climax of the Christian message.
First, the new morning of the resurrection of Jesus is the morning that gives new hope to mankind.
Second, the new morning of Jesus' resurrection is a new morning that gives confirmation of faith.
Third, the morning of the resurrection of Jesus is the morning when the door to eternal life is opened.
Today on this resurrection morning
The high mountains are made low/ The deep valleys are high
The crooked road is straightened, and it becomes a level
The morning when the highway opens to the road of eternal life
Jesus is risen again
I will live again
we will all live
Hallelujah
I bless you in the name of the resurrected Lord to achieve glory on the morning of the resurrection.
