‘It is true! Jesus is alive!”
This is the title of my Easter Sunday sermon at Edge Community Church, March 31, 2024 from John’s Gospel, chapter 20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VizcIei72v4&t=2864s (Sermon commences at 33 min 30)
“The first fact in the history of Christendom is a number of people who say they have seen the Resurrection. If they had died without making anyone else believe this ‘Gospel’ no Gospels would ever have been written.” ― C.S. Lewis
