Resurrection Identity

They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

“Easter can't be something you visit once a year, right? It's got to be something we live in. So we're going to take a few weeks. We're going to talk about what it means to have a resurrection identity. We're going to talk about the reality of our identity. Who we are. … That's going to be born out of Easter. What do you identify as? You know — we hear this question all the time. You know — some identify as, right? It's a very popular thing. And I think it's really important as Christians that we realize — I identify as a follower of Jesus. I identify as a child of God. I identify as one loved by the Most High. That's who you are.”
