Reading Our Easter Story (Luke 24)

Christ’s resurrection is one of the most important days in world history. If Christ is not raised from the dead then all of God’s promises fall flat. In fact, if Christ is not raised from the dead then there is no assurance of entering God’s eternal rest. As the Apostle Paul quotes Isaiah when he says, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die'“ (I Corinthians 15:32).

Luke 24 assures us that our story does not end in death as we take hold of Christ by faith. No, our story is guaranteed a future beyond this age because we are grounded in Christ.
