Worship Service: Mark 16:1-8 (The Village Chapel - 4/17/2022)

Описание: Resurrection Sunday 2022

The New Testament describes the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as an historical event, claiming that a physically dead Jesus rose up from the grave three days after His death on the cross. Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Jesus alive after He came back to life. In one of the earliest New Testament writings, the apostle Paul said many of those eyewitnesses were still alive and could be interviewed by any person choosing to investigate the Resurrection event.

Now, what difference could it make to us if Christ was raised from the dead? Isn’t the whole idea of Easter just a spiritual warm-fuzzy, a metaphor for springtime and renewal, based upon a rehashed pagan celebration and merely designed to prop up the image of a good man who had a very tragic death? Why would it even matter to us that Christ was raised from the dead?

Join Pastor Jim as he explores the significance of the Resurrection and why it provides Christians with an inexhaustible hope even in the midst of an increasingly dark and despairing world. (35:23)
