Held, Sent, and Believed: Easter 2026

Michael Ryan Stotler

Easter is more than an empty tomb. It is a living Savior who meets people personally.

In John 20, the risen Jesus meets Mary in her grief, the disciples in their fear, and Thomas in his doubt. Each encounter reveals something powerful about resurrection faith. Jesus calls people by name, reshapes how they relate to Him, and invites them into new life.

This Easter message reminds us that the resurrection is not just something to believe, but someone to trust.

If you are searching for hope, peace, or faith, this message is for you.

Scripture: John 20:11–29

Theme: The risen Jesus meets us where we are and invites us into resurrection life.
