Many of us know the Easter story and the people involved with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. But in this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson digs deeper, showing how many unlikely characters recognized Jesus as their Lord, while others surprisingly withdrew from the arena. It’s helpful to examine the people in the Easter story because God is still calling a people to Himself—a people who will believe in Him and acknowledge the truth about Jesus of Nazareth. The resurrection is just one example of God moving in the earth with “a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.” In times of shaking, God intervenes for His people with His power and might. Our generation desperately needs expressions of the power of God, and that recognition, desire, and expectation begins in the hearts of His people—you and me.
