Introduction: Easter announces not only that Jesus lives, but that his risen people must live differently.
1. Jesus died for all, proving that his sacrificial love frees us from self-centered living (2 Corinthians 5:15).
A. His death confronts our sin and reveals that life cannot rightly remain centered upon ourselves.
B. Therefore, Christ’s cross supports the thesis by establishing both our redemption and our new allegiance.
2. Jesus was raised, assuring us that we can live a genuinely new life for him (2 Corinthians 5:15).
A. Easter declares that the Savior who claims our lives is living, victorious, and worthy.
B. Therefore, Christ’s resurrection supports the thesis by providing hope and power for faithful obedience.
3. Those who live must now live for Christ, demonstrating Easter’s transforming purpose daily (2 Corinthians 5:15).
A. Living for Jesus means surrendering personal ambitions, habits, relationships, and priorities to his lordship.
B. Therefore, obedient devotion supports the thesis by displaying the purpose for which Christ saved us.
Conclusion: Because Jesus died and rose for us, repent of self-rule, trust him personally, and live for him. Believers should surrender every area today and boldly share Easter’s hope; those without Christ should come, believe, and receive his saving life.
