Do you have a religion or a Risen Savior?
Today, we explore the profound difference between having religion and a relationship with a risen Savior. The message centers on Mark 16, the resurrection story, challenging us to examine our faith. Are we simply going through religious motions, or do we truly believe in the power of the resurrected Christ? We're reminded of the women who went to Jesus' tomb, not expecting Him to be alive. Their story mirrors our own struggles with doubt and unbelief. The key lesson here is that unbelief can rob us of experiencing God's power in our lives. We're encouraged to come to God not just out of duty, but with expectation and faith. The father's plea in Mark 9, 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief,' resonates with our own spiritual journey. This Easter message reminds us that with God, all things are possible - a truth that should transform how we approach every challenge in our lives.
