Resonate Life Easter Sunday Live Stream 10:00AM - April 5, 2026

See, Jesus didn't just stay in the grave. We know he rose from the dead after three days. 500 people saw him risen. What does that tell us? Because he rose again and he made that claim and he actually pulled it off. That proves that everything he said about himself is true, that he is the son of god, that his death paid the penalty of sin, that he's the only way to god. There's no other way. You can't be a good person. You gotta go through him. Without him, you're destined for eternal punishment, but that his love is stronger than death. He has the power to grant you eternal life, and he has the power to set you free from anything you're struggling with today and his love goes deeper than you can even imagine. That's right.

Jesus, you see, was the perfect solution. Sin was paid for by a guiltless less life, an innocent person for the guilty. That was us. Justice was served. But his character of love was on full display in the fact he says, I don't wanna make any man do this. I love you too much. I'm gonna do it myself. This is god's love on full display. Let me just say this this morning. If you could only see how much god loves you. He loves you even before you could ever do anything good for him. He loved you. [00:59:23] (38 seconds)  #LoveDidItForYou

You you surrender your life to Christ, and you don't just become a better version of yourself. You're not just following some real good spiritual principles. You actually become a brand new person. And, oh, I wish you could understand that if you don't if you've never experienced it before. It's the most incredible thing. Your desires change. Your wants change. Your love for God. You're like, why do I wanna read the Bible? Why do I wanna hang out with church people? I don't know. I just love god. It's because the holy spirit's inside you. When you get born again, the bible says, and I don't understand it's a mystery, but there's a little piece of god that gets deposited in you called the holy spirit.

He's loving and he doesn't want us to suffer punishment. He's just that sin has to be dealt with. There has to be a punishment for sin. I mean, what if there was a judge that every time a murder every time a murderer came to him, somebody brutally was murdered and that that murderer came before the judge, and the judge was like, yeah. You did it. He even said, I did it. And the judge says, you know what? I really kinda like this guy. He seems like a nice guy that maybe I'd have a beer with sometime. You know what? Let's just give him a hundred hours of community service. What would happen? People would go irate. This is wrong. Where's the injustice? You can't just do that. He needs to pay for his crime. And that's where we don't understand our own sin. [00:55:01] (49 seconds)  #SinRequiresJustice

I mean, this is our theme today, graves in the gardens. Just as a seed goes into the ground and dies and then transforms into something else, which is a miracle, and it's greatly multiplied many other flowers and seeds. So Jesus had to go into the ground and die and be raised from the dead to produce life for everyone. So you can't have a res yeah. You can't have a resurrection without a death. And if you think about it, everything in life that is good comes with a cost. Everything in life, you have to die to it metaphorically speaking in order to see life come out of it. [00:49:58] (42 seconds)  #DieToLive

But god loves us so much that he doesn't want us to die on our sins. He doesn't want us to receive eternal punishment, and he wants to give us life forevermore, life on this earth and life in the life to come, which let me tell you is much longer. It's forever. The Bible says God's put eternity in the hearts of men. That means every person has some understanding that when I die, something else happens. There's more to this life. And we have two choices according to the Bible. We will either live with our creator in heaven in perfect paradise or we will live apart from our creator in eternity and torment.

Yet in a span of twelve hours, they go from having a Passover dinner with Jesus in the upper room to he's hanging on a cross by 9AM, sentenced to die between two thieves. I mean, they had given everything. Have you ever given something up, everything to only be disappointed? They've given everything up. And he even declared he was the Christ himself. And then he confirmed it. They saw him feed the 5,000. They saw him calm the storm and the wind. They saw him raise Lazarus from the dead, a man who was dead for four days and he came to life. I mean, come on. How did this come to end so quickly? [00:48:23] (52 seconds)  #FromUpperRoomToCross

We think, oh, it's just a little lie. What what's the big deal? I'm a good person. Yeah. I just get a little angry sometimes. We don't understand that compared to a holy perfect god, we are sinful and evil. That's what the bible tells us. There is no good person. You aren't we we we like to just smooth it over and say, just made a mistake. No. The bible says you're actually in rebellion against god with sin. And if you can't be perfect without sin, you are guilty. [00:55:51] (39 seconds)  #SinIsRebellion
