As we set aside time this Easter to remember and give thanks to the Lord for the salvation we have in Him our prayer is that we each would come to know Him more deeply and live lives that increasingly glorify Him.

To that end here are some Easter studies to help us to do just that. 

Through Jesus, we get to participate in a redemption story that has been unfolding since the beginning of time!

Why is it important that Jesus rose from the dead? In the studies so far we have seen that Jesus lived (study 1) and died (study 2) for us. That through faith in Jesus we are new creations freed from the condemnation and control of sin, who now live to glorify and follow Him. However, if Jesus stayed dead then our faith is futile and we are still dead in our sins. In this study we will see from the Scriptures that Jesus did rise from the dead—proof positive that the Father accepted what He had done on our behalf and that through Jesus we have a new standing, life, and hope.
