Back to Life: Easter Service

In our existence, we always have an unquenchable thirst for more.

Something deep within us knows we cannot be satisfied by anything outside of Jesus. The greatest accomplishments bring temporary relief from our insatiable desire for more. Our highest highs and lowest lows cannot define our life as Jesus can. In John 11, Jesus reveals to his friend Martha that he has come to bring eternal life to us. When she assumes he means eternal life after death in a future resurrection, Jesus corrects her by explaining that Jesus brings true life to us now as we place our faith in him. Jesus proves this by bringing Martha's brother Lazarus back from the dead. Though everyone will die physically some day, their life is made whole and their hearts are fulfilled by the spiritual life that comes from knowing and worshiping Jesus.

We are brought to life in every sense of the word through the love and work of Jesus. The word "life" finds its ultimate definition in the ministry of Jesus in our lives. That's why he calls himself "the resurrection and the life."
