The Cross & The Resurrection

We live in a world of tension. Tension is defined as being in a strained state or condition resulting from forces acting in opposition from each other.

We see a tension between things that are and things that are to come. It’s an already, yet not. It’s a kingdom at hand and a kingdom coming. The Bible talks about this tension in great detail, but it’s never more evident than during what we call the Easter season.

During Easter, we celebrate two distinct events - the cross of Christ and the Resurrection of Christ. These events changed the course of history. Time was split into because of these events. We are asked by Jesus to be united with him in his death and united with him in his resurrection. (Romans 6:5-8) What does this look like? To be beckoned to come and die, yet live? Pastor Brian addresses this idea in detail during this sermon.
