"Billy Joe Daugherty masterfully leads us back to the resurrection power of Christ that breaks us free from the fears of our past to live a victorious life." -T. D. Jakes! pastor of The Potter's House This thing called the Resurrection changed everything! Everyone who witnessed the execution of Jesus Christ thought it was over when He was nailed to a Roman cross and brutally crucified.    The great man was suddenly a dead man.    His friends wiped away their tears and buried Jesus in a borrowed stone tomb. His enemies were excited—and suspicious. They pressed the Roman governor until he posted a squad of Roman soldiers at the sealed tomb. They didn’t want any monkey business.    Their problem was larger than monkeys, however: they were trying to interfere with God’s plan. From the beginning of time, He had intended for humankind—His highest creation—to experience a wonder-filled life: a life spent with Him, a life that was free of disease, hatred, anger, violence, hunger, and loneliness.    From their beginning at Creation, Adam and Eve enjoyed that blessed life, but they lost it when they disobeyed God’s warnings and chose their own way in the Garden of Eden. (See the Bible account in Genesis 3.)    That first sin of rejecting God’s way tainted our entire human race with sin and death—we all have inherited their defective DNA of the soul. This spiritual disease called sin was passed from one generation to the next, with a death sentence that was unavoidable.    The result wasn’t God’s intention. It was humankind’s choice.     But God loved us so much that He gave His innocent Son, His only Son, to save us. Jesus shed His blood and washed away our sins and failures through the wounds He experienced on the cross and in the savage beating by temple guards and Roman soldiers lashing away with their bone-and-stone-embedded scourges.    He died in your place. He paid for your sins. If you receive Him, He declares you, “Not guilty!” He justified you just as if you had never sinned. This is the mercy and grace of God.    Everyone, friend and enemy alike, thought it was over after the followers of the Carpenter placed His battered body in that cold stone tomb. Few remembered and no one believed that Jesus would rise from the grave on the third day.    He knew it, believed it, and willingly laid down His life in full confidence that His Father was able and committed to raise ...
