Easter 2025 (Robert Conn)

Scripture: Luke 24:5b — “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”

In this Resurrection Sunday message, we reflect on the angel’s powerful question to the women at Jesus’ tomb. They had come looking for a body, expecting death—yet the tomb was empty. “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” is not just a question for that moment, but one that echoes into our own lives.

Too often, we seek purpose, identity, and peace in “dead places”—in success, relationships, addictions, status, even religion without Christ. We chase after affirmation on screens, healing in achievements, or comfort in substances. But these cannot offer life. They are tombs that promise what only Jesus can give.

True life—abundant, eternal, and resurrected life—is found in Christ alone. He is not in the grave. He is risen. And He invites us to stop clinging to lifeless substitutes and instead come alive in Him.

This message calls us to examine where we’ve been seeking life in dead things—and to turn instead to the Risen Savior who conquered death and still meets us with grace and power today.
