The Most Profound Easter Message
Easter isn’t about eggs or chocolate. It’s about love that bled, hope that rose, and a grave that’s empty.
Let me tell you why it still changes lives—even 2,000 years later:
1️⃣ We were created for relationship—with God, with one another, with purpose. But we broke that connection. We chose independence over intimacy. Sin entered. Shame followed. And deep inside, we all feel that ache—that something’s missing. That’s because sin separates us from the God who made us.
2️⃣ But God didn’t give up. He sent His Son with a promise to rescue us. Jesus often referred to Himself as “the Son of Man”—a title from ancient prophecy that revealed both His humanity and divine authority.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
—Luke 19:10 (ESV)
3️⃣ That rescue mission took on flesh. God became human—Jesus. He healed the sick, welcomed the outsider, loved the unlovable, and taught with heaven’s authority. But His truth exposed corruption and threatened the powerful. They arrested Him, falsely accused Him, and nailed Him to a cross. He didn’t resist—He chose to lay down His life, taking our place, bearing our burden.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
—Isaiah 53:5 (ESV)
4️⃣ Three days later… the impossible happened: He rose. Not a myth. Not a metaphor. The tomb was empty. The grave was defeated. Over 500 people saw Him alive. Death lost its power.
“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
—Matthew 28:6 (ESV)
5️⃣ The resurrection wasn’t just a miracle. It was a victory—for all of us.
Jesus crushed death, conquered sin, and opened the door to eternal life—for anyone who believes and says yes to His invitation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
—2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
That’s what Easter is:
Not religion. Not ritual.
Rescue. Redemption. Resurrection.
HE IS RISEN… and hope is alive. And He’s still reaching for you.
