It's cool that we celebrate Easter every year, but sometimes it can get a little mundane, you know? Cross, tomb, resurrection — we've heard it so many times it's easy for it to lose its significance. So let's try something. No matter how many times you've heard the Easter story, let's try to hear it like it's the very first time. Here's what happened. Two thousand years ago, God, the Creator of the whole universe, stepped into a human body with a plan to do something that had never happened before and would never happen again. 

Jesus, God in the flesh, was killed. God could have stopped it, but didn't come to save. God came to rescue us. But then, a few days after He died, Jesus just got up. He left death, hopelessness, and the power of sin behind — not for Himself, but for you and me. Death and sin don't have to have the last word for this one reason: Jesus is alive! 

What does the resurrection of Christ mean to you?
