The Death of Death

“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” ~ Paul “[At Easter] the order of things has changed: the Tomb devours death and not the dead; the house of death becomes the mansion of life.” ~ Peter Chrysologus, Bishop of Ravenna, 433 AD “The message of Easter is that God’s new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that now you are invited to belong to it.” ~ N.T. Wright At Easter we declare that Jesus Christ, who died, is alive again. It’s not just that he rose again, but that he’s alive now. And that with his resurrection, something new has entered into our world of death and brokenness. This series of sermons walks through 1 Corinthians 15 - the apostle Paul’s extended reflection on the resurrection and works out the implications of Christ’s resurrection for our life and mission together in Cincinnati. He is risen ??" it really is good news.
