Sermon for Easter Vigil, AD 2026

Christ promised one sign which would manifest who He is to all people. He would be three days in the earth and rise again, just as Jonah was three days in the belly of the great fish. Tonight we celebrate that sign. Christ has fulfilled His Word. The Son of God has taken on our flesh to be our Savior and our Brother. He has died on the cross and been put in the grave. Yet, like Jonah three days in the fish, He only remained three days in the grave and rose victoriously, defeating death forever.
