Dead Man Walking (Matthew 28:1-20) - Easter Sunday 2017

If the cross is the place where salvation was purchased, the empty tomb is the place where salvation was proved. Last week, Palm Sunday, we looked at Calvary, the place where Jesus paid the sin debt for all who would put their trust in Him. Three days later , Jesus’ followers discovered the victory that Jesus’ sacrifice brought. The tomb was empty 2,000 years ago and men have been trying to explain away the empty tomb since the day it happened.

As you’ll hear in this week's message, everything hinges on the resurrection; if Jesus did not rise from the dead, then Christianity is a sham, and Jesus is just another religious leader among the many there have been throughout history. The evidence is overwhelming, the empty tomb is a reality, and the reality of the resurrection has implications for all of our lives. We’re glad you’ve joined us as we reflect on the glorious good news that three days after the cross, there was a dead man walking.
