First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon "Remembering Resurrection” – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025
Scripture: Luke 24:1-12
Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! As the women approach the tomb of Jesus, they are met with the unexpected - an empty grave and bewildering message of an angel: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” In this moment, the wilderness of temptation no longer holds the final word. Instead, it becomes a place of transformation as we turn towards God’s promise for eternal life. For even the darkest places and longest journeys can be transformed by God’s power. May we come to find this Easter morning, that there is joy in the resurrection of the Lord!
