Easter Production - Our Living Hope - 2021
Subject – Experiencing Jesus in a Broken World
By Rick Welborne
--Paul has so much to say about the death, the burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In
1 Corinthians 15:17-20 (NKJV)
17 “And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead.”
--Can we establish during this time that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ that He is absolutely, positively alive and we know that because He lives in us!
--Our identity is found in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
--We hopefully identify with Him in His death as Paul said about himself;
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
20“ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
--We have been crucified with Christ which means we have died to self and now live because of Jesus in us. We deny ourselves, take up our cross, and we follow Him or we are not His disciples.
--The story of my father’s encounter with the transforming resurrection power of God.
1 Peter 1:3-4 (NKJV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
