The King We Need

Easter Sunday is a day celebrated by many people worldwide, by Christians and Non-Christians alike. Beyond the fun and commercialization of Easter, there’s a much bigger reason to celebrate. The reason Easter exists is to remember and celebrate Jesus. And not as a good teacher or a moral leader, but as the resurrected king who saves us from sin—the king we all need. The evidence of the resurrection proves that Jesus did rise from the dead and that Jesus is the king we need, the king who can save us from sin and separation from God. The reason we celebrate Easter is because: An empty tomb means a living king. And a living king requires a response from us. The empty tomb doesn’t allow for indifference or neutrality; we have to choose if we will surrender and follow the living king Jesus.
