“Risen to Reign – His Greatest Mercy”

John 20:1-18 (ESV)

CIT: Because Jesus conquered death and rose in victory, we can receive the mercy of salvation and walk in the freedom of grace, not the burden of works.

1. The Empty Tomb – death could not hold Him, nor will it hold those who believe.
2. The Empty Grave Clothes – peace can rule in your heart (not panic).
3. The Empty Heart – despair is replaced by a heart filled with joy and hope for a new life.

Point #1 – The Death-Defeating Miracle

Point #2 – The Rule-Writing Religion

Point #3 – The Gift-Seated Messiah
