HE IS RISEN! | Pastor Adam Wolfe
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ at St. Paul,
"He is not here, but has risen." — Luke 24:6
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
That simple, powerful proclamation is not just something we say on Easter morning. It is the reality that shapes every single day of our lives as God's people. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. And because He lives, everything is different. It can be easy, though, for Easter to feel like a moment rather than a way of life. The celebration comes and goes, filled with joyful hymns and songs, full sanctuaries, and the beauty of the resurrection account. Then Monday comes. The routine returns. The struggles persist. The questions linger. And we might wonder what difference Easter really makes now.
The answer is this: The resurrection of Jesus is not just an event we remember. It is a truth we live in. When Jesus rose from the dead, He did not simply prove something about Himself. He accomplished something for you. Your sin is forgiven. Your guilt is removed. Your death is defeated. As the apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 4, Jesus "was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." That means the resurrection is God's declaration that everything needed for your salvation has been fully completed in Christ!
So what does that look like in daily life?...To read more of Pastor Adam's cover article and to see what's happening at St. Paul, read our April newsletter below:
