SPEAKER_00: Early in the morning, Mary went to the tomb expecting to find Jesus still buried.
SPEAKER_00: But when she arrived, the stone that closed Jesus' tomb was moved and the grave was empty.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus had risen.
SPEAKER_00: What looked like the end was actually the beginning of the greatest victory in history.
SPEAKER_00: Today, we celebrate that death was defeated.
SPEAKER_00: Hope was restored, and Jesus is alive.
SPEAKER_00: He is not here.
SPEAKER_00: He has risen.
SPEAKER_00: Just as he said, Jesus kept his promise.
SPEAKER_00: The resurrection reminds us that no situation is too hopeless.
SPEAKER_00: No darkness too deep.
SPEAKER_00: And no brokenness is beyond God's power to restore.
SPEAKER_00: Because Jesus lives, we have hope.
SPEAKER_00: Repeat this after me.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus, thank you that your resurrection reminds me that my life is filled with grace, forgiveness, and love because of you.
SPEAKER_00: What once was dead is now alive.
SPEAKER_00: Tell God where in your life are you doubting His presence where the outcome isn't clear.
SPEAKER_00: Tell Jesus three areas of your life that you need Jesus to bring life to.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that we get to experience grace and mercy because of your sacrifice.
SPEAKER_00: You rose from the grave for our sin.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for always being with me in every situation.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
