Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Easter is the most important day on the Christian calendar because the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the dead is the most important event in the history of this world and the entire universe. To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, “It’s what the whole story has been about…” He was placed in a borrowed tomb and resurrected on the third day. He walked among the people for 40 days and ascended into heaven, and He will come back for those who trust Him as Savior and Lord of their lives. Now that is some great news!

This coming Sunday we are starting a new sermon series. It is called “Extra, Extra Read all about it”! Extra! Extra! Read all about it! A cliché stock phrase from the 1890s through the 1940s used to denote breaking news! I have great news for you today. Jesus died on the cross of Calvary for our sins. The cross was the goal of Jesus from the very beginning. His birth was so there would be His death. The incarnation was for our atonement. He was born to die so that we might live. And when He had accomplished the purpose He had come to fulfill, He summed it up with a single word: “finished.”

In Matthew we see the life-transforming power of faith in Jesus Christ. True faith leaves all to follow the Savior. The question from Matthew to you is,  “Have you heard Jesus’ call?”  Will you follow?

Do not be afraid to follow Jesus. You will never regret starting down the “Jesus Road.”  You will only regret that you waited so long to do it.

Make Every Day Count!
