Levi Matteson - April 1, 2018
He Is Risen! Confidence Restored
April Fool's Day and Easter coincide for the first time since 1956. Some think Christians are fools for believing Jesus rose from the dead. We're no fools, but it's neither stretch nor slight to think his resurrection was a masterful prank. The one they had thought they could kill and get rid of rejected hell. His rising mocks the killers who spat on him, jammed a crown on his head, and drove nails through his hands and feet. His rising mocks Satan who offered him the kingdom of this world, which Jesus declined. His resurrection overcomes the curse of this world and mocks the consequence of sin as he tramples over death by death. Wouldn't you have loved to see Satan's face the moment he realized the scheme of hell didn't work. Easter is the greatest April Fool's reveal ever. Levi Matteson delivers an Easter message on this Resurrection Sunday, April 1, 2018.
