Ep. 138 | Easter 2026: Why Do You Seek The Living Among The Dead

About this episode

This episode explores the significance of Easter through the lens of the resurrection and the message of seeking true life in Christ.

This Easter sermon explores the account of the women visiting Jesus' tomb in Luke 24:1-6, focusing on the question 'Why do you seek the living among the dead?' The pastor emphasizes that Easter is not just a seasonal celebration but a return to the fundamentals of faith. The message reveals three key truths about resurrection: it requires death (surrender for us since Jesus died in our place), it resets our expectations when we encounter the unexpected empty tomb, and it transforms seekers into finders. The sermon challenges the tendency to look for life in dead places - whether through money, relationships, careers, or other pursuits - when true life is found only in the risen Christ who actively pursues us with His grace.
