The Comeback Was Always the Plan: A Resurrection Sunday Message

Easter isn't just a holiday—it’s a life-changing moment in the Christian story. At Resurrection Sunday 2025, we declared with joy that "the comeback was always the plan." This wasn't just a feel-good phrase; it’s a biblical truth anchored in the power of Jesus' resurrection.

Hope Was Never Off the Table
From the very beginning, God had a comeback plan. Jesus’ death wasn’t a detour—it was the path. As Jesus said in John 10:18 (referring to His life):
“No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again.”
This was not a story gone wrong. This was divine strategy in motion. The resurrection of Jesus wasn't plan B—it was always plan A.

The Power of the Resurrection
The empty tomb is more than an event—it’s an invitation. Romans 8:11 tells us:
“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”
This means the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us. Your story isn’t over. Even when life feels like it’s at a dead end, God is writing a comeback.

God Still Rolls Stones Away
In Matthew 28:6, the angel declared:
“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.”
That stone wasn’t rolled away to let Jesus out—it was rolled away so we could look in. God still moves stones in our lives—stones of fear, doubt, addiction, and shame. The resurrection reminds us: you can rise again.

Your Comeback Starts Now
This Easter, we were reminded: Jesus’ victory is our victory. You don’t have to stay in the tomb of your pain or past. The resurrected King lives—and because He lives, you can live free.

Wherever you are in your journey, know this: your comeback is not just possible—it’s promised. The comeback was always the plan.
