#2 - If Jesus Is Alive, Then What?
When we see Jesus at the empty tomb... everything changes.
This Easter message invites us to explore the transformative power of encountering Jesus at life's 'empty tomb' moments. Drawing from John 20, we're reminded that even on that first Easter, Jesus' disciples experienced confusion and despair before joy. The empty tomb, initially a symbol of loss, became a beacon of hope. This parallel challenges us to reframe our own struggles - could our darkest moments be the very places God chooses to meet us? The message encourages us to see our trials not as meaningless suffering, but as potential turning points where God can work miraculously. Just as Mary Magdalene's sorrow turned to joy, our perspective can shift when we recognize Jesus in our midst. This Easter story urges us to look for God's presence in unexpected places, reminding us that our faith journey often involves moving through doubt and fear to find deeper trust and purpose.
