Resurrection and Ascension (Easter 2023) (also “Stranger Things” Week 2)

A couple of days after death, if they could be afforded, the tomb would be opened and the body would be treated with spices and perfumes as a way of honoring the person. But one Sunday, two ladies were not at all prepared for what they would experience: an earthquake, an angel, and the powerful announcement that “He is not here, He has risen as He said.” His death was final and absolute. His resurrection and the following month of ministry was witnessed by hundreds. THIS is the most important story of Christianity, and you don’t want to skip this part of our “Stranger Things” series because today we’re really talking about what we DO with this knowledge. He has risen! He IS risen! He is alive, and He is calling you into the kind of life He lives. Amen!
