Reasons to Fear Easter:

If Jesus was raised from the dead . . .

. . . life is far more unpredictable than we thought.

. . . God clearly said “yes” to Jesus and His way of life.

Reasons to Celebrate Easter:

If Jesus was raised from the dead . . .

. . . we can give up our pathetic attempts at trying to control life.

. . . on the other side of the cross is the empty tomb.

. . . Jesus sits on the throne at the Father’s right hand. 

Take Home Idea: Easter fear gives way to Easter laughter when you recognize that the tomb is empty and Jesus has finished his work
