Easter at Hulen Street Church

March 31, 2024 • Wes Hamilton • John 20


The Easter narrative is explored through a lens of doubt and discovery, acknowledging the skepticism surrounding the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Despite doubts, the story emphasizes the importance of evidence and reasoning in faith. Through the experiences of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter at the empty tomb, the progression from skepticism to belief is depicted as a journey of investigation and reflection. The inclusion of women as the primary eyewitnesses underscores the authenticity of the accounts, challenging societal norms and strengthening the case for historic accuracy. However, belief in the resurrection is depicted as more than just intellectual assent; it requires a personal encounter with the living Jesus, transforming lives and defying mere religious practice. As the narrative concludes, the questions posed by Jesus to Mary resonate with contemporary seekers, urging introspection and a deeper understanding of what truly fulfills the human soul beyond mere religious tradition.
