Shownotes

Death used to feel final, but Easter declares something different: the cross reveals the depth of God’s love, and the resurrection reveals the power of God’s love. In Matthew 27–28, we see ordinary people courageously identifying with Jesus, even when it was costly, and we see the empty tomb that changed history forever.
