On April 8 millions of people witnessed a total solar eclipse over the United States. An historical event, to be sure, but probably “life-changing” for only a few of those witnesses. But when Jesus rose from the dead, that was not only historical but “life-changing” for His disciples who saw Him in the flesh many times before He returned to heaven. And, their testimony has been life-changing for millions of others through the ages, who never had the opportunity to see Him in person. In this sermon, as in many, we’ll think about how.

When Jesus rose from the dead early on Easter Sunday, only Mary Magdalene saw him at the garden tomb. It wasn’t until the afternoon of that day that He showed Himself alive to two grieving disciples, and it wasn’t until the evening of that day that He showed Himself alive to the rest of the disciples - well, except for Thomas. It wasn’t until the next Sunday evening, when Jesus showed up to them again, that Thomas finally saw Him with his own eyes and believed the witness of the rest.

Today is Easter Sunday! On this day Christians say “The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!”

When Jesus rose from the dead, His glorious body still bore the scars from the nails that pierced his hands and feet and nailed him to the cross. In the Forgiving Challenge earlier this year, we were reminded of the acronym “S.C.A.R.S.” that stands for Sin, Confession, Absolution, Restoration, and Sanctification. Good Friday (the day when Jesus was crucified) is the day of Absolution, when Jesus washed away all our sins with His death on the cross. Easter Sunday is the day of Restoration, because the empty tomb is not only the sign that God restored His Son to life after His death, but that He accepted the sacrifice of Jesus as more than enough payment for all our sins, restores us to life in His love, and will restore our bodies to bring us into heaven.
