An Easter Vigil Meditation
Manage episode 232128987 series 2421920
The resurrection of Jesus is a world-changing event, but it can be hard sometimes to know why it should matter to us. This sermon argues that the resurrection is only understood rightly when we see it as part of God's ongoing mission of rescue from oppression. It's a mission which continues today and inspires us to faithful service in that same cause of freedom.
Scripture reference: Luke 24:1-12
Preached on the Easter Vigil, April 20, 2019 by the Rev. Lisa Pacarynuk
Sermon Highlights
- God has been at work saving creation from the beginning
- He continues working at this now
- We remember how the resurrection promises freedom to us
- Baptism is the promise that we have an ongoing relationship with the one who was raised
- It also challenges us to walk with this one to cooperate in his mission of grace
