Resurrection and Restoration

Last Sunday was wonderful as we gathered for our Easter service at Destiny Church. Once again we remembered the real reason for Easter, the resurrection or our Lord Jesus from the dead! (John 20:1-7)

Some people have some different ideas about Easter. What counts is what the Bible has to say about it? What really happened that first Easter morning?

Last Sunday we not only looked at what the bible has to say about Easter, we also looked at why it's important for Christians, and why Easter is important for the world?

We also looked at Mark 16 verse 6 and 7 where the angel said to the ladies that came to the tomb:
“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

We noticed how the angel specifically mentioned Peter by name so that he could be restored after he denied Jesus 3 times, and how Jesus wants to restore each of us into a right relationship with Him like He did Peter.
