The Reality of Present Risenness

Text: I John 3:1-8

What difference does Easter really make? Does the reality of the resurrection affect the way in which we live our lives? Easter is not simply an historical event, but has very real ramifications for our lives today. Not only did Jesus walk from an empty tomb, but He is alive and active today. we must be continually aware of what Brennan Manning calls “Present Risenness.”
