Hope and Fear

First Baptist Owasso

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:3-5

The birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ was without a doubt the focal point in human history. Earthly and heavenly consequences for every person in history hinges on this moment in time. Prior to this point, the world anticipated the event. Since this period of history, the world continues to live with it in view. Today is Easter Sunday. It is the day every living individual comes to grips with the impact of the resurrection in the world and in each life. The Resurrection of Jesus continues to speak from the past, drawing every heart in this moment all the while revealing critical promises for the future. This Easter, have you personally encountered the impact of this moment in history? Do you understand the supernatural message, and do you sense the supernatural draw to awe, respect, repentance, and surrender? May this Resurrection Sunday be unique. May it mark a change that brings hope in your life, no fear in your death, and an eternal destiny only found in the gift available to everyone who would come to the dying Lord took your place. The Lord is risen. He is risen indeed!
