Sunday Service||What does Easter Mean?||Pastor Joe Tarkon||City of David Atlanta

The New Testament is a textbook of hope. Because in the hopelessness of his death, in the hopelessness of his burial, in the hope the hopelessness of his crucifixion, in the hopelessness of all his disciples running away, on that third day, a light came out of that grave. On that third day, a signal came from heaven that the price has been paid. The job has been completed. The operation has been successful, and Jesus Christ, the son of God, is alive.

There's hopelessness in the world today. There's hopelessness. There's chaos around the world today. Nations are rising against nation. Families are fighting themselves. Children are fighting with parents. Spouses are fighting among themselves. But my dear friend, in Christ, there is hope. In Christ, there is peace. In Christ, there's security. In Christ, there's endurance. In Christ, there is strength. This world is a victim of misplaced hope. [02:47:06] (41 seconds)  #HopeInChrist

on the face of what happened, on the face of it, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The bible says that the angels told the the disciples who went there. He said, why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not yet. He is risen. And I wanna say to you today, Jesus Christ is risen. Jesus Christ is risen. Can you say that with me? Jesus Christ is risen. Say it aloud. Jesus Christ is risen. Without the restoration of Christ, all of life is a mockery. [02:38:35] (40 seconds)  #SeekTheLiving

You can encounter him. You can have that personal intimate relationship with him. And you know what? Regardless of how far you have fallen, regardless of how horrid your sins may be, people may despise you, but the Jesus who loved you and gave his life for you will forgive you, wrap his hands around you and bring you to himself and give you a new name and make you his own child.

My friend, there are some of you who don't have that money, but you have joy. You have happiness. You have security. You have hope. What gives you that hope? Jesus Christ in you, the hope of of glory. Easter brings us face to face with the resurrected Christ. It brings us face to face with the resurrected Christ. This is what Paul Peter said. He said in first Peter chapter one verse three, he said, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

But, yeah, his word was coming true because he said that when I die, I will rise again. And ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you here today. This Jesus Christ is alive. He rose again from the dead. He rose again from the dead. He rose again from the dead. Glory to God. There are four things that happened at Easter. Four things that happened.

And they said that on this Easter Sunday, let us shield our sword. We don't want any bullet. We don't want any gun to be fired. Any bullet to be fired. On this Easter Sunday, let there be no hostilities. And guess what? On Easter Sunday, as they told the the the Easter story, as they played Christian music, there was silence between both armies. Easter, the restoration of Christ can steal the hostilities in your family. [02:39:43] (33 seconds)  #EasterBreaksHostility

And it was obvious that this girl was gonna die in a few weeks. So the doctor whispered to the mother and said, oh, poor child, she has sent her best days. I'm sorry for her because she's gonna pass away. He didn't know that the girl heard what he said. So the girl spoke out aloud and responded to the doctor. He said, no, sir. I'm not saying my best days. My best days are ahead of me. My friend, Jesus Christ gives you hope for year and for year after. Glory to God. [02:48:29] (40 seconds)  #BestDaysAhead
