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
