The Power of Hope …
Easter Sunday
If we are going to love like Jesus loved, even in times of great stress and worry, then we must be filled with living hope.

Faith never says, "The righteousness that leads to life is inaccessible." But faith recognizes its own helplessness and gladly accepts this righteousness as a gift from God.
If your life is flat, empty, without exhilaration, without significance, without a single and fulfilling orientation, it is because you do not see the risen Christ for who he really is.
If the Spirit of God indwells you, God is going to raise you from the dead at Christ's second coming and give new life to your mortal bodies.
Academic stature has never been a guarantee of religious insight.
On Easter Sunday morning Jesus blew the lock off the prison of death and gloom and returned to the gladness of God.
The great word of the resurrection is OPEN! Therefore write in capital letters over every closed door in your life, OPEN!
Jesus offers irrevocable joy. It cannot be destroyed. It cannot be lost.
Jesus died to meet your needs. He rose to meet your needs. He reigns to meet your needs—and make you happy in him forever.
The greatest news in all the world is in order to make you happy and glorify Jesus, God raised him from the dead to reign forevermore.
What if it's true that Christ rose from the dead?
The story of Easter doesn't end with a mangled shepherd lying dead among three dead wolves.
If we are saved by Christ's death, what does his resurrection add?
Of all the great things that Easter means, it also means this: it is a mighty "I meant it!" behind Jesus' death.
We owe our purification to Jesus and we owe our being to him.
Christ is alive and able to persuade you that he is true and the greatest treasure in the universe.
Jesus' delight in dying and rising was to enable others to rise from the dead and enjoy his majesty forever.
What is the basic message of the Bible? And what does it mean for me?
He is risen! Trust him today. By his mercy he can forgive your sins. And by his sovereignty he can turn all things for your good.
We will reign with Christ and find our joy not in usurping God's majesty but in saying: “How majestic is your name in all the earth.”
Jesus will always be our shepherd and we will always get the incomparable joy of being his sheep.
Twenty centuries later, we can still see the truth of the Resurrection.
The resurrection of Jesus shows the greatness of God's power toward us now in this life.
