Do you know that feeling you get when something just “clicks?” When a school lesson hasn’t made sense but then one little point clears everything up? Or when you’re reading a book and one detail connects all of the dots from the previous chapters? Sometimes, when we look into the difficult parts of a story, we become more appreciative of the outcome. While Easter is a time to dress up in pastel colors, search for candy-filled eggs, and rejoice in Christ’s resurrection, we need to wake up and remember that there is a side to the Easter season that is dark, brutal, and filled with sadness. When we wake up to see Easter from a new perspective, we can rejoice more fully in what He has done for us.
Awaken: Experiencing Easter in a Whole New Way
Awaken is a four-session sermon series that will help your students see the Easter story from a new, and perhaps an uncomfortable, perspective. Easter is a time when we celebrate the culmination of God’s redemptive plan, but what Jesus had to endure in the days leading up to His death, burial, and resurrection is something we tend to leave out so, wake up and Easter afresh!
