Easter 2024 God's Great Reversal
March 31, 2024 • Ray Weickel • 1 Corinthians 15:12–22, 1 Corinthians 1:22–24, Luke 24:1–12, 1 Corinthians 15:3–8
"Easter: God's Great Reversal" highlights Jesus' resurrection as the pivotal event of the Gospel, challenging human logic and societal norms. The Easter message, though initially perceived as nonsense, confronts beliefs in death's finality and offers new life through Jesus. Women as the first witnesses symbolize God's inclusive redemption for all. This "utter nonsense" transforms skepticism into faith, inviting us to embrace the radical reversal of God's kingdom. In the face of doubt, Easter proclaims hope, celebrating the triumph of life over death and inviting all to experience the power of resurrection in Christ.

"Don't Miss It!" emphasizes perceiving God's work in the present, paralleling the crowd's overlooking of Jesus as their savior. It urges embracing the Kingdom's current reality, not just future hope. Salvation isn't solely ahead; it's available now for those who seek it.

In this sermon, we explore the profound concept of grace in light of the Easter journey. Using the parable of the prodigal son, we uncover grace's transformative power, contrasting it with legalism. Grace, God's unmerited favor, challenges our notions of deservedness, offering freedom and redemption, not based on our efforts but on God's love.
