Easter Sunday

He Is Risen!

Submitted by John Zuidema on March 23, 2008 - 11:00am
What a wonderful day to celebrate, “Jesus has risen from the dead" and all God’s people reply, “He has risen indeed!"  And surely this is also the very reason why we worship and glorify our Saviour God today!  Where would we be without the resurrection of Jesus from the dead?  We would still have to suffer God’s wrath for our sin; we would be false witnesses and living a big lie; our loved ones who have already passed away would be lost; our preaching and our faith would be useless.  As the Apostle Paul says, “If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."

But thanks be to God, our glorious Saviour has risen from the dead! And that dear friend makes life worth living to the glory of God.’  That one fact gives purpose and direction to life!’  That one fact gives reason for endurance when things go against us and encouragement to continue the race of life.’  That one fact causes great thankfulness to well up within our hearts for now eternal life in glory with our Saviour is guaranteed.

Exodus 20:8-11

Congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let me begin this sermon on the fourth commandment with quoting the opening paragraph from a book called "Practising Our Faith", by Dorothy Bass:

"How often people today cry out in desperation or despair, 'I just don't have enough time!' There is so much to do: earn a living, fulfil a vocation, nurture relationships, care for dependants, exercise, and clean the house. Moreover, we hope to maintain sanity while doing all this, and to keep on growing as faithful and loving people at the same time. We are finite, and the demands seem too great, the time too short."
