Sermon Illustrations For Easter Sunday (2017)
Illustration
Acts 10:34-43
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus who we proclaim as our Lord. What does this mean for you? What does this mean for us who identify ourselves as Christians? Simply phrased, “God wins.” Sin doesn’t win. Hate doesn’t win. Political power doesn’t win. Fear doesn’t win. God wins. In spite of the sacrifice Jesus made, or maybe because of the sacrifice, God honored and honors him above all others.
