Easter



Easter Sermon
I attached the audio to my Easter sermon in this post. I hope it works...

It is not perfect. Sermons never are. I was trying to foster thinking about the resurrection beyond categorizing it as a mere miracle. The resurrection is certainly miraculous, but it is much more than that. It is not so much about God’s power, as it is about us.

The resurrection is a gift to the disciples. It is a sign to them, and it affirms Jesus identity for them. The resurrection is Jesus’ gift to us, that we might see and believe. Our age is so caught up in the historicity of the resurrection, we often miss the meaning.

Give it a listen. Does it work?
