Am I living out the power of the resurrection in my life?

John 19:30

Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

Why did Jesus need to rise from the dead?

Easter exists to provide power for you to come alive as well 

Revelation 1:18

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

Do you know the power of the resurrection?

Ruined: something reduced down to a state of decay, collapse or disintegration

Ephesians 1:19-20

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

Isaiah 61:1-4

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.

You move from dying to living.

You move from living to restoring.

You move from restoring to rebuilding.

You move from rebuilding to finding purpose.
