WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LIFE IN DEAD PLACES? Luke 24:1–5 “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?’” (NIV) 3 WAYS TO FIND LIFE THIS EASTER 1. FIND LIFE IN THE RESURRECTION, NOT YOUR ROUTINE Luke 24:6  He IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: (NIV) 2. FIND LIFE IN GOD’S LOVE, NOT YOUR LABOR John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. (NIV) 3. FIND LIFE IN BELIEF, NOT DOUBT Luke 24:11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. (NIV) 3A. THE EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY 3B. THE WOMEN AS PRIMARY WITNESSES 3C. THE EMPTY TOMB 3D. THE RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE DISCIPLES 3E.
