Mark 14:1-7
"He Is Risen."
Resurrection doesn't just mean salvation.
It means new creation!
This Easter we look at three blessings that come with the new creation:
Renewed Bodies.
Renewed Mission.
Renewed Spirit.
A "gambit" was originally a chess term.
The King's Gambit is an opening move in which a player sacrifices material, usually a pawn, with the hope of achieving a resulting advantageous position.
“Sacrifice a player to achieve an advantageous position.”
God made a sacrifice on our behalf.
The King of Heaven became human and was nailed to a cross.
But that move has gained us a great advantage-
By his sacrifice we can have eternal life.
This Sunday we start our Easter Season.
We walk with Jesus through the moves that led to his death, burial and resurrection.
Our King’s Gambit has won victory over sin and death!
