Easter 2021: The Long, Slow Triumph of Love!

Jesus at 2AM - A Humorous, Intelligent Look at the Bible, Church History & the Life of Faith

At the cross, Love and Evil went to war - the final confrontation between God and sin. And the question is: Who won? (It would be good to know, as the answer changes everything about how we live!)

The New Testament, of course, argues passionately that Easter is the proof of God's victory, and as a result, the entire course of history has been transformed. But has it? And if, indeed, it has, how might we experience the change for ourselves? What are we to do to both share in and further the triumph of Love?

Today we turn to a critical passage in Paul's letter to the church at Corinth.

Here are the links I mention in the intro:

• The biblical passage is: 1 Cor. 15:1-22, 30-34, 50-58 (NRSV)
• Here's a link to the map.
• And here is a link to our Good Friday Stations of the Cross worship service (it's wonderful, truly!).

This sermon was the conclusion of a larger series titled Again & Again that was a joint project of Canvas Presbyterian Church and two other congregations. You can find the whole series on our Canvas Vimeo page, and, if you'd like, subscribe to receive future worship services!
