EASTER 2022

Luke 24:1-11

The first Easter began with disappointment and death.

The Christian faith hinges on an historical, physical resurrection of Jesus.

·      Post-resurrection appearances

·      The persecution and martyrdom of the disciples

·      The rapid advance of the gospel

·      The faith of Jesus’ brothers

lessons from the tomb

Humanity seeks to cover the stench of pain. 

Humanity seeks relief from pain, but we are prone to look for life in dying places. 

Only faith in the resurrection of Christ brings enduring hope.
