Easter

Easter celebrates the Lord's resurrection and what He accomplished while on earth — teaching, healing, and fighting against the forces of hell from His love for saving the human race. As we welcome the Lord God Jesus Christ into our lives, He can rise in our lives as well, bringing His power and love to save us.

The King of Kings

Title: The King of Kings (#17)

On Palm Sunday the people of Jerusalem welcomed the Lord as their King, shouting "Hosanna!" and spreading a carpet of clothes and palm branches along the way (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 12). We too, can welcome Him as our King by joyously accepting His reign in our lives.

The Lord's Final Temptation

Title: The Lord's Final Temptation (#53)

While on earth the Lord overcame terrible temptations, including the physical and spiritual agony of His death on the cross (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John 19). Because of this final victory, the Lord God Jesus Christ can be with us in a new way, and His Divine power can save us in our own spiritual struggles.

Joy Comes in the Morning

Title: Joy Comes in the Morning (#4)

After enduring the sorrow of the Lord's crucifixion, the women who first came to His tomb, early on Sunday morning, discovered that He was not there, for He had risen (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20). We, too, may rejoice at the Lord's triumphal resurrection as we celebrate Easter day.

Believe in Me

Title: Believe in Me (#29)

After His resurrection, the Lord gave the apostle Peter the charge to feed and tend His flock (John 21). Peter's spiritual journey toward believing in the Lord as our God is similar to our own. Like Peter, our faith is sometimes weak and unsure, but at other times it is strong, acting as the true rock and foundation of our spiritual lives.

I Am With You Always

Title: I Am With You Always (#40)

On Easter, two apostles traveled to the town of Emmaus (Luke 24:13-31). A man joined them along the way and spoke to them about the Scriptures. But it was not until He broke bread for them that they recognized Jesus, risen from the dead. Although we may not recognize His presence, the Lord is with us as well.
