The Day Death Died - Matthew 28:1-10, 1 Corinthians 15:50-58, Luke 24:44-49

From the very beginning, God created the world as it ought to be, a place of goodness, life, and perfect relationship with Him, as we see in Genesis. But the world we experience now is not that world. Sin has broken everything, and we feel it every day in death, pain, and the quiet realization that this isn’t how life should be. Yet the message of the gospel is that something can be done. Through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, sin has been paid for, new life is possible, and real hope has entered the world. And even more than that, there is a promise of what will come: one day God will restore all things, making every wrong right, wiping away every tear, and destroying death forever. And the question is: how do we know this is true? Because of Easter.
