He Is Alive And It Makes All The Difference

I wonder what that "first" Easter morning was like. I expect that for most people it was an ordinary morning to begin a week. However, for the followers of Jesus it was anything but ordinary. Their leader had been taken from them. Then, to their surprise, Jesus Christ rose from the dead and conquered death.

Jesus is alive and it makes all the difference. This was my theme as I preached my sermon on Easter Sunday. Jesus is alive and it makes all the difference becuase He (by His Spirit) is with us 24/7 now - which is both comforting and challenging); He desires to guide and direct us as we ask him and follow his leading; He conquered death so that we may also live (life does not end when we physically die).

Jesus is alive and it does make all the difference. To listen to the full sermon go to www.zemc.org and follow the links to listen to a sermon on April 24, 2011.
