Jesus Wins| Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church

He is risen from the dead, and he is lord. And every knee is gonna bow. Look at it. Therefore, god has exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that's above every name that at the name of everybody say it. Come on. Every campus, yell it out. Jesus. At the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is lord to the glory of god the father. Here's the message of Easter. The cross is empty. The tomb is empty, so your life doesn't have to be. [00:51:41] (33 seconds)  #HeIsRisen

If only for this life we have hope in Christ. We are of all people most to be pitied. He went on to say in verse 32, if the dead are not raised, then let's eat and drink for tomorrow we die. He's saying, listen. If there's no heaven, if there's no hell, if there's no resurrection, then just party hardy. He's saying you might as well get drunk, stay high, stay wasted. Christianity is a waste if Jesus is still in the grave. But I'm telling you, he's not in the grave. He is lord. [00:51:06] (34 seconds)  #ResurrectionMatters

Spurgeon in London, the great preacher, he battled and his wife great challenges as far as their health. And he said, when you can't trace his hand, trust his heart. There's something god wants more than your healing and that's your heart. This verse listen. This statement by Spurgeon here ministered to me and Tammy when our little boy Christian died. We held on to this. When you can't trace his hand, trust his heart. And then he went on to say, I've learned to kiss the waves that throw me upon the rock of ages.

And we said, what? He said, yeah. On Walker, it looks like the bad guy is gonna win. The whole show, the bad guy is winning. But in the end, the bad guy doesn't win. Walker always wins because it's his show. And I just came to tell you on this Easter Sunday that it looks like evil is winning in this world. And it looks like Satan's winning right now, but, oh, listen to me. Jesus wins because it's his show. Hallelujah. [01:06:07] (35 seconds)  #JesusRunsTheShow

They say, man, this world is filled with sickness and sorrow, and the world says, hey, if god's a god of love, why did he create a world where babies die and where cancer kills and where mental illness rages? Well, first of all, that's an incorrect and unbiblical view of sickness. Let me tell you, sickness came into the world not through God but through sin. When God created the world, he said it is good. This is not the perfect world that God created. [00:52:16] (34 seconds)  #SinBroughtBrokenness

For everyone who knows Christ today, here it is. Stand firm. The resurrection means you can stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the lord because you know that your labor in the lord is not in vain. So it's settled. Jesus wins. The question is, are you on the winning side?

You say, well, I thought Peter was one of the 12. He was one of the 12, but he denied our lord three times. And he thought that he had disqualified himself. He thought Jesus didn't want me. He felt unworthy to be even be with the other disciples, and that may be you this Easter. You feel unworthy to even be at church. You feel like Jesus would not want you. Let me just tell you, failure is not final. Can I have an amen? [00:43:13] (28 seconds)  #FailureIsNotFinal

Jesus rose from the dead to give you another chance. God's not mad at you. Listen. The message of the Bible is this, that Jesus wins, that he brings dead things to life. You know, that is the pattern in scripture. Can these dead bones, dry bones live again? The answer is yes. Jacob said about his son, Joseph, my son who was dead is now alive.
