Easter Sunday 2024: Into the Light

Speaker: Rev. Ho-Ming Tsui


Scripture: Luke 24:1-12

When was the last time you were confronted with a claim that - if true - would change your life?

In this story: there are two contradictory claims: 1. Jesus died and has stayed dead 2. Jesus died but was raised to life

Staying in the dark (ie. Treating Jesus as if he were dead):

1 Denying the Miracle of the Resurrection (Jesus lives)
Jesus wasn’t reincarnated, nor reanimated:

• Reincarnation: human soul is transported to another body

• Reanimation: human body is revived, only to die again

Don’t treat Jesus like any other person in history!

2 Defying the Message of the Resurrection (Jesus saves)


Two signs you’re living as if Jesus didn’t have to die:


a. You live with bitterness


b. You live in fear
