RISEN TO REIGN ( THE KING, THE KINGDOM & THE GREAT EXCHANGE

About this sermon

In the heart of history stands a man who, at first glance, appeared ordinary—born of a young innocent woman named Mary. Yet through the testimony of many, He was known as a healer, a worker of miracles, and a teacher whose presence and thought inspired absolute awe. The greatest voice of the Old Testament declared Him to be the Lamb of God. Yet others rejected Him. And then came the moment. In one of those most striking scenes in history, two men stood before the crowd. Both of them were the accused. Both were named Jesus. One was a known insurrectionist and murderer— Jesus, named Barabbas. The other was the Lamb of God… The Bar Abba And the choice was made. “Release Barabbas… and crucify Jesus.” The crowd hollered. The guilty one walked free but the innocent One was led to die on The Cross. The King was crucified in the place of the criminal. The King died, and was buried in a borrowed tomb. A stone was rolled over the tomb. The Roman seal was set upon it. The Roman guards were put in place. As far as the world could see, it was all over for the dream. But early on Sunday morning, the stone had already been rolled away. The tomb was now empty. And the King was no longer there. “He is risen! He is risen!” became the most popular statement in town. The question is—what does this mean? Not just for history. But what does this mean for you.
