Cornerstone

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone and fundamental belief in our faith. Jesus’ death is the greatest act of love and obedience.

Being fully divine and fully human, Jesus could have decided not to go to the cross.

He could have, “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53).

Instead, He “being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:8).

 If Jesus had just stayed in the grave, He would have been like every other person who dies. But, “By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.” (1 Corinthians 6:14).

Jesus’ resurrection is the greatest display of God’s power, mercy, grace, and love.
