Sermon Scripture: John 19:41—20:18
To be able to honestly proclaim, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed,” we, like the characters in our scripture passage this morning, must affirm that four important things are happening in our lives. You might say we are being invited to experience four things developing in our lives.
Jesus makes and keeps his promises
Our lives develop and bear fruit in cycles
Jesus shows up in surprising ways
(and) Christ has no body on earth but ours!
