Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

God loves his children so much that he will put them in situations where they have nothing left but his glory to rely on.

In this Easter sermon, Paul Tripp explains why Christ

delayed his arrival to see his friend Lazarus and how Christians should live with resurrected

faith. Well, at the end of this Easter day, I want to ask you this question, what will you do with Easter?

Maybe it sounds like a strange question. Maybe you're thinking, I'm not sure I understand the

question. I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to put it away and get it out next spring.

What will you do with Easter when a particular area of sin looks attractive to you and you feel weak and

enable? What will you do with Easter when you've feel weak and unable.

What will you do with Easter when you've been betrayed by someone?

And thoughts of vengeance into your head, you're able to think of what you'd like to say

and what you'd like to do.

What will you do with Easter when you're struggling and your marriage and it doesn't seem possible for you to love one another as God has designed

for you to love.

What will you do with Easter when you're facing another situation with a rebellious child and you feel like you have nothing left

and you want to shake that child and say,

can't you get your act together?

What will you do with Easter when you lay in your bed at night all alone,

wondering how you will face the next day?

What will you do with Easter?

Maybe I should ask this question.

What is it that God wants to do with Easter in you?
