Sermon 1430 - Earthquakes…..(Sun am 4/7/96)

(Easter Sunday) Matthew, chapters 27 and 28, show two major earthquakes. One earthquake occurred when the Crucified Christ died, and the earth quaked again when the Resurrected Christ arose from the tomb. Jesus Christ is the Tree of Life. The Roots of His Tree relate to the Crucified Christ or Death, and the Branches and Fruit of His Tree pertain to the Resurrected Christ or Life. Through the Death of the Crucified Christ, we receive Reconciliation and Atonement. Through the Life of the Resurrected Christ, we are Saved from the works of our old heart and Justified before God.
