Sunday’s Easter message was called Easter, Death and Taxes. Here is a brief outline of the message:
The inevitability of death –
1) Death began with Adam and Eve’s sin in the garden
– Genesis 2:15-17, 5:5
2) We all sin without exception
– Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23
3) We all die because we all sin (physical/spiritual/eternal death)
– Isaiah 59:2; Romans 5:12; Ephesians 2:1-2; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
The inevitability of taxes –
1) God tells you to pay what you owe
– Matthew 17:27, 22:21; Romans 13:7
2) When it comes to sin we owe a debt we cannot pay
– Psalm 49:7-9; Romans 3:20, 6:23; Galatians 2:21
3) The day of accounting comes for us all
– John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15
The good news of Easter –
1) Christ is risen!
– Matthew 28:1-10
2) Death is defeated!
– John 11:25-27; 1 Corinthians 15:54-56
3) The debt has been paid!
– Romans 4:4-8, 6:23
