God Looks Like Jesus: World Conqueror
Kevin delivered an Easter Sunday sermon focused on the resurrection narrative from John 20, emphasizing how Easter transforms our perspective on life’s challenges. He explained that while the crucifixion appeared to be a defeat, it was actually a strategic move by God to ultimately conquer evil and death. Using a chess analogy between Bobby Fisher and Donald Byrne, Kevin illustrated how Jesus’ resurrection was God’s “checkmate” move, with the full manifestation of victory still pending. He noted that while the world may not appear to have improved significantly over 2,000 years, Christians should maintain hope based on the promise of Jesus’ return and the ultimate conquest of evil, as demonstrated by Christ’s resurrection.
