Year after year, century after century, Christians have greeted one another on Easter with the same expression: Christ is risen! . . . He is risen indeed! Shouldn’t we move on to an updated greeting more relevant for our day?
In his Easter sermon, Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers this question with a resounding NO! because there is nothing fresher or more relevant for our world than Christ dying and resurrecting on our behalf. Listen in and embrace the reality of the world to come so that you might experience the innumerable ways it alters life today.
For centuries, the global church has greeted the arrival of Easter with the same triumphant declaration: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Some might wonder if such an ancient greeting needs an “updated” or more “relevant” replacement for the modern world. In this message, Chuck Swindoll argues that there is nothing more fresh or relevant for our day than the reality of Christ’s death and resurrection on our behalf. By looking at the morning that changed everything, we discover how the victory of the empty tomb beckons our participation and fundamentally alters the way we live in the present.
