But you should know what to do. He's risen.

And listen, everybody, why are we so excited? Why is this going on all around the world?

You think about it all day. Listen, as we approach the end of the continent beyond the Pacific,

in the middle of Pacific, is the international date line, which means we're nearing the end of Sunday.

And while you were sleeping all around the world, people got together by, well, at least a

couple billion people to celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead.

And as I said at sunrise service, we're here today right now.

The message that we preach right now is all based upon fact. And I love that. Our faith is founded upon fact. And those of us who know Jesus know the Word of God understand that the Bible is the authority for life. It's not only the authority for our lives, but for the future. And what is glorious about what you just saw in that video

presentation numerous times you saw Old Testament passages quoted because Jesus Christ is the

one and only ever individual that has had a book written about them before they ever came

into the world. Listen, if you're a skeptic or a doubter or an atheist,

you've got to deal with that today. How do you explain a book that has been around for thousands

of years, even before Christ himself came, and it was all about him? You've got to square with that

today. That's why we're so excited is because this is not just a day for us. Look, it is a great day for us.

But for those of us who know him, we have this every day. And we want to make sure that we share

that with you. I'm going to confess right now this morning, today's going to be a little bit of a

different resurrection, sunrise service message. I hope it applies mostly to the believer and get you

excited about our near future. And if you're an unbeliever today, that is you're not, you're not

someone who's following Jesus, that you get so jealous of what we have that you're going to have

it. That's what we want to experience today. And so we do have a profound hope, and it's glorious in Christ.

Before we get to today's passage of reading, I just want to remind you again, all of this week,

starting from last Sunday, all through the week, and today is the most in-depth, studied, researched, confirmed,
