Summary
At Word of Life Church, you belong even if you don’t believe. Welcome to this powerful message where Pastor Jason Shirley dives deep into the heart of God—showing that you are worth it to Him, no matter where you are in your journey. In this Resurrection-focused sermon, experience a raw and personal testimony: In 2019, at the lowest point, the Spirit of God declared, “I don’t want to give you a restoration—I want to give you a resurrection.” Death had to come first, but Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, refused to give up. From the cross’s agony to the empty tomb’s triumph, discover how Jesus’ suffering, death, burial, and resurrection reversed the curse from Genesis 3, redeemed every broken part of humanity, and made eternal life available to all. Explore: God’s relentless pursuit—from the Garden of Eden (“Where are you?”) to the parables in Luke 15 (the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son) How the crown of thorns, drops of blood in Gethsemane, and the cross fulfilled and reversed the curses of sin The profound meaning of “Tetelestai” (It is finished)—a declaration of perpetual victory, conquest, and paid-in-full debt The symbolism of the sour wine on hyssop, restoring the Holy Spirit’s living water so we never thirst again Why Jesus healed Malchus’ ear even in arrest—because even His enemies were worth pursuing For those seeking God: See His heart clearly—He pursues you in the dirty places, the far-off places, because you are worth it. For believers: Let this stir overwhelming gratitude and give you His heart toward others. He’s alive! And because the grave couldn’t hold Him, sin and death can’t hold you. The same power that raised Jesus lives in us! If this message touches you, like, comment your favorite part, share with someone who needs to hear “You are w…
