Easter REvolutionaries

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.”
[John 11:25]

· What an awesome line from Jesus! This is Hope in a nutshell. If we die believing in Jesus, we will 

  live beyond death; we’ll escape its clutches, we’ll be made perfect like Jesus as we live and

  reign with him for eternity.

· But there’s work to be done now! We celebrated Easter Day two days ago. How many people

  have you told about Jesus life, death and resurrection since then? Now, this challenge is not

  meant to make you feel guilty, but it is meant to inspire you to tell others about the Good News

  of Jesus.

· You see, as you know, Jesus is the only person to have ever claimed to die and rise again and 

  actually perform this amazing act. He did it! He conquered sin and death in the process and lives

  in heaven as King of the universe as well as dwelling in the lives of all believers by the power of

  his Holy Spirit.

· We have this great, living, active, dynamic hope inside each of us as Hope Revolutionaries. Yet

  how are we going to share it? We cannot keep this hope to ourselves. This hope was given first

  to a few scared, disheartened and sad disciples in Jerusalem, who didn’t know what to do now

  that Jesus had died. Their Lord turned up in the middle of their locked room, ate a fish, proved

  he wasn’t a ghost and told them to stay in the city until the Father gave them “power from on

  high” [the Holy Spirit - see Luke 24: 36-53]

· You don’t have to wait like them for power from on high. The Holy Spirit lives in you now,

  because you’ve given your life to Jesus. So, all you need to do, as Revolutionaries of hope, is to

  step out and share the Easter message with anyone and everyone you meet, doing it with words

  and actions as you demonstrate Jesus’ love. Go for it!
