Amen and amen and amen.

Hey church this one time when I was in Israel, I went to the tomb.

I have been to the tomb and I am here as a firsthand.

I witness that the stone has been rolled away and that the tomb is empty and that he is alive.

He is not here.

He is risen.

You can go to tombs of religious leaders all over the world throughout human history.

And the one thing that they have in common is there's a dead man in there.

But in the tomb of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I've got really good news for all of us.

The tomb is empty because he is arisen.

He is alive.

Amen, church. Amen. And we are here today

to celebrate that on Resurrection Sunday. And the key question, it's only the most important

question that you'll ever deal with in all of your own eternity is this. Do you believe? Do you believe?

Now, I know some of you believe like crazy. I mean,

you know, you went to Sunday school with Moses and this is like your 2000th Easter and we were so glad

that you were here, right? And so praise the Lord, you showed up here today, just ready to worship

and praise our risen Savior. But I also know this. Some of you show up today and, man, you don't know.

You don't know. I mean, you think you believe. You kind of believe in God and that kind of stuff.

But you would say, I don't know. I don't really think about it. Usually I'm reading the paper right now or whatever.

But Nana said that she won't feed me today if I don't go to church. And so here's my annual visit. Of all the Sundays to be here, this is the day to be here because this is when we talk about the main event,

the main thing.
