This Easter, our Guest Minister will be Pastor Chima Nnorom from Louisville Kentucky, USA.
Easter is the time of the year when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb on the third day after His crucifixion. Easter is the fulfilled prophecy of the Messiah who was persecuted, and died for our sins, and arose on the third day.
"3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth."
Jesus Himself, predicted His death and resurrection in Mark 9:30-31 [NIV],
"30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know
where they were,
31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
Remembering the resurrection of Jesus is a way to renew daily hope that we have victory over sin and death.
