Easter (386)
  1. The Light of the LORD, Jesus Christ, has risen upon us and set us apart as the chosen people of God.
  2. “Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it. He destroyed Hell when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead!” - Chrysostom
  3. The promise you will make, which brings about the presence of Christ and creates rejoicing, is the peace Jesus brought to the disciples that night behind locked doors.
  4. In the next three weeks, Saint John will explore some of the implications of the resurrection, especially for Christians as they consider how to live in the present and what is in store for us in the future.
  5. God has created perfectly. God is in the house and all is right with the world!
  6. Tomorrow Jesus will laugh his way out of the tomb, spit in the face of death, and kick the devil in the throat as he dances to the clapping glee of angelic masses. But today he just rests.
  7. Like the women who came despite their questions, your hearers will gather despite their uncertainties, and they will be looking for a word of honest hope.
  8. In the resurrection Jesus transcended time, space, and death; those things which limit human existence. So, the stone was not rolled away for Jesus, but for the disciples and for us.
  9. This is the feast, the banquet to end all banquets. The LORD God is the maker and provider of this great feast which takes place for the resurrected faithful in the courts of Heaven.
  10. For the God-man goes from borrowed donkey to borrowed upper room to borrowed cross and borrowed tomb. For you.
  11. There is joy in Lent, but it is the kind of joy that comes in being made whole.
  12. Resurrection is victory. God shall arise! Christ has risen! However, this is not the sum of the LORD’s provision for the people.
