What if the Resurrection is true?

Easter is the highest attended worship service across the world. While it may simply be a tradition for some families, the tradition came from somewhere. It is such an important day in the history of the church that God’s people changed from worshiping on the Jewish Sabbath (which is Saturday) to Sunday – the day on which Jesus was resurrected which we call “the Lord’s Day.” The resurrection is singly important to the Christian faith. All of the claims of Jesus hang on the veracity of this event. Did it happen? The evidence in support of the event is substantial – so substantial that many experts conclude that it would win if presented in a courtroom. There are two responses to the resurrection in Matthew 28: fear and doubt, and fear and discipleship. In this message we consider where doubts come from and where the resurrection event leads us.
