The Holy Terror of the Resurrection | Matthew 28:5â8
Most Easter sermons focus on comfortâhope, peace, and new life. And while thatâs true, itâs only part of the picture.
What if weâve been looking at the resurrection upside down?
In this sermon, we turn the resurrection right-side up and see what Scripture actually reveals: not just comfortâbut fear, authority, and total allegiance. When Jesus rose from the dead, it wasnât merely a victory over deathâit was a public coronation. God declared Him both Lord and Christ, the One to whom every knee will bow.
This message walks verse-by-verse through Matthew 28:5â8 and shows:
Why the resurrection should produce both fear and great joy
How God comforts the righteousâbut not the wicked
Why Christâs death had to be real for salvation to be real
How the resurrection proves Jesusâ absolute authority
Why Easter is not just about hopeâitâs about submission
The resurrection doesnât just invite admiration.
It demands allegiance.
The question is not simply: Do you believe He rose?
But: Have you bowed to Him as Lord?
