This Easter message invites us to rediscover the true meaning of the holiday, shifting our focus from bunnies and eggs to the person of Jesus Christ. We're challenged to consider why Jesus is central to Easter and why it matters. The key scripture discussed is John 1:29, where John the Baptist declares Jesus as 'the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.' This powerful statement connects Jesus to the rich symbolism of sacrificial lambs throughout the Old Testament, culminating in the Passover lamb of Exodus. The parallel between Jesus and the Passover lamb is striking - both are without blemish, both are sacrificed, and both provide protection through their blood. This symbolism reminds us of our need for salvation and the futility of trying to save ourselves. The message encourages us to place our hope in Christ alone, recognizing that His resurrection gives us the power to live transformed lives. As we celebrate Easter, we're called to embrace the hope that comes from knowing that the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. This sermon was first preached on April 20th, 2025 at Springfield Church of God by Pastor Jason Mitchell.
