In this powerful and uplifting Easter sermon, we explore the most precious commodity on earth - hope. Through the story of Lazarus, the words of Jesus in John 11:25–26, and the truth of the Resurrection, we’re reminded that our hope is not just for today, but for eternity. This message reveals why Christians are the most hopeful people on earth: because we are completely forgiven, no longer afraid of death, and promised an eternal home in heaven.
Whether you’re celebrating Resurrection Sunday or just needing encouragement in dark times, this sermon will lift your eyes to Jesus - the resurrection and the life.
