As Christians, we do not' have to fear death—because Jesus Christ defeated it. Easter was the death of death; it died when Christ rose! This Easter, hear Jesus as He says, “Don’t be afraid. ” Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 28 #1 The world is full of fear. We live in a scary, frightening world. It’s an age of anxiety and global fears. There are personal fears too. Everyone has a fear of death. #2 Because Jesus rose from the dead, we no longer need to live in fear. Psalm 90: 9 #3 The resurrection of Jesus replaces fear with faith. Read Matthew 28: 1–10 The disciples were filled with fear and uncertainty after the crucifixion of Christ. Jesus came with the express purpose of dying on the cross and rising from the dead. Jesus is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. Jesus told His disciples He would suffer and die and then He would rise again. Death does not have the last word—Easter does. Death died when Christ rose. Easter is the death of death. A Christian will never die spiritually. Jesus said, “You must be born again. ” John 3: 7 (NLT) God’s plans are better than yours. Turn your panic into prayer, your worry into worship, and your fear into faith. "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water. " So He said, "Come. " Matthew 14: 28–29 (NKJV) Faith gives way to fear. Trust gives way to worry. Peter sank because he was afraid and took his eyes off Jesus. When we are sinking, we need to call out to Jesus. Matthew 14: 30 Death does not have the final word—Jesus does. A new day can dawn for you today: #1 Realize that you are a sinner. #2 Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sin. #3 Repent of your sin. #4 Receive Jesus Christ into your life. #5 Do it now. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest. org.

We’re all used to seeing before and after pictures. Before the diet, after the diet. Before the haircut, after the haircut. Crinkled up fender, un-crinkled up fender. Well, we’re all living the before picture with our earthly bodies. We don’t know exactly what the after picture will look like but it’s clear it’ll blow our minds.
