In a time of fear, uncertainty, and grief, we can find new hope in Jesus Christ. As we start on this series, A New Hope, we will talk about the hope that Jesus brings to everyone through His life and resurrection. He is the hope of our salvation and our hope in every situation.

On Resurrection Sunday, three days after Jesus was crucified, He rose from the dead and showed Himself to His disciples before ascending into heaven. What is the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Without the resurrection, there would be no hope. Jesus’ death would have had no meaning. He would simply have been a visionary and wise teacher who died. Jesus’ death satisfied the justice of God, but His resurrection allows us to preach the good news and bring this hope to others. This is the joy we have in the resurrection.
