Amidst the darkness of the crucifixion story, the promise of new life in Jesus sprang forth. In this lesson, the truth of Christ’s victory became known first to His closest followers and then was spread throughout the rest of the world.

God chose Saul to be the Israelite’s king - and with His help, Saul brought the Israelites together to defeat their enemy. Similarly, God sent us His own son, our eternal king Jesus. Jesus brings together everyone who trusts in Him to have victory over sin & death!

As we finish up this series, we are reminded that God takes sin seriously. People deserve to die for their sins, but God loves us and sent His son, Jesus, to defeat death by dying on the cross for us and rising from the dead.
