The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave is the single most important event in the Christian faith. There are multiple lessons we can learn from the empty tomb of Christ:
• Religion always gets in the way of a personal relationship with God. Religion constantly reminds people they are not good enough to grow closer to God.
• God has rejected the old system of religion that sent Christ to the grave. Everything up to Christ burial was done according to the law.
• God wants a personal relationship with everyone willing to follow Him.
• There is a response when Christ meets us on a personal level.

The Freedom of Surrender

The United States was built upon principles of freedom. However, many have taken this to mean we are free from moral responsibility and consequences of our actions. As believers we are free from the bondage of sin and death. We have a responsibility to exercise self-control in the decisions we make and remain focused on God in our freedom.
