Notes:

Why are we here today?

Celebrate:
Tradition
Philosophy
Cheering

Political hostility
Financial instability
Social unrest
Physical destruction
Emotional distress

Life is unreliable
(Chaos – Ruin – Uncertainty)

Security in the unsecure makes peace impossible

Without peace we’re trapped in a life of anxiety, stress, and pain-avoidance

Jesus of Nazareth did what no one else has ever done!

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”
- John 11:25

From that time on Jesus began to say plainly to his disciples, “I must go to Jerusalem and suffer much from the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. I will be put to death, but three days later I will be raised to life.”
- Matthew 16:21

Chaos, ruin, and uncertainty gave JESUS it’s best shot and lost!

Historical Facts:

I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day…
- 1st Corinthians 15:3-8

He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive…Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him.
- 1st Corinthians 15:3-8

God loves you
Death & Evil are defeated
Eternal life is available

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
- John 14:27

We don’t know what tomorrow holds
We do know who holds tomorrow

JESUS’s peace frees us to live a life of meaning not avoidance.

A Love like Jesus’s is worthy of our response, today…
- Remember
- Receive
- Research
- Reject
