When religion and politics conspire to silence the Savior?
When they place guards at the tomb to stop a resurrection?

Answer: God breaks the seal. The earth shakes. And Jesus walks out.

In this Resurrection Sunday message, we explore the irony and power behind the world’s attempt to keep Christ buried—and the explosive triumph of His resurrection. From the sealed tomb to the angel’s announcement, from frightened soldiers to faithful women, everything changes because the grave gave way, and the Risen King lives.

🔓 Here’s what you’ll discover in this message:

👉 How religious leaders feared Jesus’ resurrection power more than His disciples
👉 Why the empty tomb demands not just faith, but a response
👉 How the angel’s words—“Do not be afraid”—still speak hope today
👉 Why Jesus calls failures “brothers,” and what that means for you
👉 What it looks like to truly receive, return, and run with resurrection faith

🙌 Application truths that challenge and change us:

✝️ Receive the Risen Christ – Don’t lock yourself in tombs of pride, doubt, or fear. Jesus rose—so you could live.

💔 Repent and Return – Your failure isn’t final. Jesus meets repentant sinners with nail-scarred grace and calls you His own.

📣 Run and Tell – The first Easter response wasn’t silence—it was mission. The world needs resurrection witnesses, and you’re one of them.
