In most world religions, the alleged foundational event was experienced by only one person. A self-proclaimed prophet would allege he alone had some special encounter with God. “No really! Just trust me. It really happened.” The resurrection reality is so very different. In the Great Resurrection Chapter (1 Corinthians 15), St. Paul writes an entire paragraph listing all the people to whom Jesus appeared after He rose, including a group of over five hundred at one time. It is like St. Paul is telling skeptics, “You don’t need to take my word for it. Hundreds of us saw Jesus back from the dead.”
The proof of Jesus’ resurrection brought peace and strength to those early believers. They knew there was more to their existence than just their time on earth. They knew the reality that eternal life was theirs, a gift from their living Lord. It gave them incredible joy and courage. May the resurrection reality give us the same.

Series: Children's Christmas Program, Christmas
Topic: Birth, forgiveness, Gospel, Life-Changing, Light, Opinion, Savior, True
This life-changing story tells us that you are loved and you are forgiven. No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done, through faith in Christ, we have forgiveness. When you know that truth but you kind of ignore it, it’s like driving outside at night without lights. You are ignoring the truth and it is dangerous. Even when it’s foggy, life gets hard. We need help. We need the Light. We need the truth. That’s what Christ is.
As you hear this story today, don’t just think “Do I like this?” Think about how we worshipped and what our Savior means to us–that He has come to be one of us, to live for us, to die for us, and that He rose again to show that our sins are forgiven. Take to heart this true, life-changing message as you hear what a wonderful story this is.
