Message Notes

“Alleluia – Christ is risen…!”  It’s great you know and believe that.  I didn’t know it one Easter when a friend said to me, “Christ is risen,” to which I replied, “You bet he did.”  Seemed like the right thing to say.  We still laugh about it. During Lent, we’ve been looking at “The Hand of the Lord.”  We’ve seen “The Hand of the Lord who Casts Out Demons,” “who Heals the Sick,” “who Raises the Dead,” and more.  Today we look at “The Hand of the Lord who is Risen.”  We’ll look at Luke 24 again in a minute, but first, today, we need to talk about:

 

1. Death

   1. The Final Word

   2. Anything Worse

2. More

   1. Luke 24:1-7 – Early morning, the women went to the tomb.  The stone was moved, but they did not see Jesus.  Two men in bright clothes appeared, saying “Why do you look for the living among the dead?  He’s not here; he has risen!  He told you, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised.’”

3. Real: hope love peace

   1. God is Real

 

Con:    There have been many great victories over time… there is none greater…
