The One Thing That Changed Everything
Everything in life has a beginning. Your life had starting point, your job did, and your most significant relationships all did. Faith has a beginning point too, and sometimes we need to go back to the beginning to understand things clearly. In the garden, all the way back in Genesis, after humans chose sin over God and hurled the world into a tailspin of sin, death & destruction, God made a promise that He would send a Savior to rescue His people from sin, death & hell. People waited in great anticipation for this chosen rescuer to arrive for centuries. And then one day, Jesus stepped onto the scene proclaiming the good news of God’s Kingdom. He told people that He would suffer, die & rise again. Three days after Jesus was brutally executed by the Roman government, His tomb was indisputably empty. The only question that remains is; what happened? Did His disciples steal His body? Did Jesus just faint on the cross and come to in the tomb so He could sneak out? Or, did He do exactly what He said He would and walk out of that grave 3 days after He was executed proving that all of His claims were in fact true? What you do with Jesus is the most important thing you will do in your life. He was either a lunatic on the level of Charles Manson...or He’s the King of the universe and worthy of your life and devotion. Spoiler alert...that tomb in Jerusalem is still empty and Jesus is alive!
