Some of you tune out the story of Easter because it’s just noise to you. Telling you the same old story probably won’t change your mind. Your problem is that you can’t answer the question Why does this matter to me? To change your mind, you must know why the story of Easter matters to you. This morning, I hope to convince you that the story of Easter matters to you, personally. The cross is not an impersonal symbol, it's a personal invitation to a new way of life.
