Your life's source! The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death. Embrace this fountain of life for eternal security and continuous wisdom.

Not a ghost! Touch Me and see; for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. Christ’s physical reality is the tangible proof and certainty of your hope.

The core message! He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. The empty tomb is the undeniable evidence and foundation of your Hope of the Resurrection.

Your guarantee! Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. His victory secures the guaranteed sequence of your own resurrection.

Your eternal upgrade! Christ will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body. Look forward to this guaranteed upgrade with eagerness.

Final defeat! Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your sting? Look forward to the final victory when the mortal puts on immortality.

Ultimate perfection! The body is raised imperishable... in glory... in power... a spiritual body. Look forward to destined perfection and the magnificent transformation.

The core promise! This same Jesus... will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven. Live with faithful expectation for His personal return.

Stay alert! Keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Live in constant readiness and faithful service.

The final reunion! The Lord Himself will come down from heaven... with the trumpet call of God... and so we will be with the Lord forever. Live in glorious certainty.
