since Adam fell in the Garden. A God
who can ignore sin is not worthy of
worship and adoration. A God who
would not judge the sins of kidnapping,
rape and murder would be a monster.
God's righteous indignation toward
the sin of humanity could not be
suppressed. And yet, God's love for
the world compelled him to action.
God, more specifically the Son of God,
would take man's place. He would pay
the debt. He would endure the wrath.
He would die for the sins of the whole
world. He would satisfy the righteous
demand for justice and demonstrate
God's love at the same time on a bloody
cross on the hill called Golgotha.
Is all this true? Was Jesus the Son of
God? Was He the promised Messiah?
Was Jesus the Lamb of God who took
away the sins of the world? Did he
indeed die for the sins of the whole
world? Could men and women be
saved from sin and death? Resurrection
Sunday screams, "Yes!" Just as Jesus
predicted, He rose from the grave on
the third day. e same Jesus that was
put to death on a cross rose from the
grave. Resurrection Sunday celebrates
an empty tomb. Death has been
defeated. e bodily resurrection of
Jesus validated the authenticity of who
Jesus claimed to be, "the Son of God
with power" (Romans 1:4), and what
he said he accomplished on a cross,
the payment for and the forgiveness
of sin. We can stand confidently and
proclaim, "It is finished."
What did you celebrate on this
Christian holiday? Was it the death,
burial and resurrection of Christ for
God's glory and your salvation? For 40
days the resurrected Jesus appeared to
his disciples on numerous occasions in
different ways so they would believe.
