But Lifted shows that itaEUR (TM)s far more. The resurrection has overwhelmingly positive implications for our daily lives. Through it we can have real assurance of forgiveness and salvation. We are raised and empowered to live new, transformed lives. We have hope after death for our bodies and this physical world. We see the urgency of reaching all nations with the message of the risen Jesus. Life is now different: we have been lifted.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just for Easter. ItaEUR (TM)s for all of life.
