And let everybody shout a big Amen. No, that's that's that's Good Friday. Amen. I need a uh a holy Sunday, amen, amen. God bless you. Please take your seats. And it's good to be back and to see all of you. Happy Easter to all of you. Um I intend for us to have a very reflective moment. And so there may not be many points of excitement here, but I will be happy if we could just ponder over something for a while. And what I want us to ponder over is this whole idea of Easter and what it really means and what is it, and does it still have relevance? And I'm not going to be an apologist today, I'm not going to try to prove the death of Jesus and prove his resurrection, which is something I usually love to do. But I'm going to talk to you as believers who already accept the fact that Christ died and Christ's reason. The only thing I feel it's important we contemplate on is do we feel the same about the story as we used to? Has something changed? Have we become more appreciative of this Easter story, or we have become a lot more distant from the Easter story? I'm not a big fan of football. And so the only thing for the longest while I supported was in our local contest was Hartz of Folk. And if you ask me why I supported Hartz of Folk, it's very simple. My dad supported Hassel Folk, so I just supported it. And I grew out of it because I didn't have a reason to support it. Aside my dad supported it, my dad no longer followed football, so I wasn't a supporter of it. And then the next team that I supported was our national team called the Black Stars. And I loved them to bits. Until 1992, something traumatic happened to all Ghanai football fans. We were at the verge of picking up the African Cup because in my lifetime we have not been champions. And that was going to be that moment. And we lost by uh to to Ivory Coast on penalties. And I don't know whether it's still the longest um uh penalty shootout in our African tournament. Hearts were broken, but we woke up the next day feeling all sick and everything, but we said they did well. But as time went on, they no longer broke the heart of some of us because some of us checked out. I only found out a couple of days ago that we had actually played two friendly matches and we lost both. I didn't even know we had friendly matches. In fact, when I saw the news, I didn't even ask how did we lose, I just scrolled on to the next most important thing for me, which was MMA. About making money, I have no clue an affiliation to they meant more to me than the Blackstar losing 5-1 to um Australia, Austria. Ah, Justin, you're updated, you know it. And I think about that, and and and two days ago on uh CTFM, the journalist on the on the product morning program were talking about how people have lost interest in the Black Stars and how we need to whip it up. And and I felt they were wasting my airtime. Because for me, that is no longer news. I need something else to consume. And there was this lady in there and said, Look, I I belong to a new constituent. We don't feel anything for the Black Star anymore. And then somebody said, Well, you don't feel anything for the Blackstars, but when it's World Cup, you will certainly feel something. And I said, Well, you've not you've not met us yet. The last World Cup, I didn't watch a single match. They told me the scores. I'm like, Oh, okay, fine, I don't care. It's fine. Now, here's what I'm trying to say, and again, I'm not using my personal experience to impose any thoughts on you. I'm just letting you know that the heart of a man or a woman, it's so complicated that the French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal made a statement that the heart has a way of reasoning that the mind cannot comprehend. There's a way that your heart ponders over life, conceptualizes things that your mind cannot understand. Your mind could be present, but your heart could be far away. Your mind could be acceptable to many things around you, but your heart is dead and gone. And so I asked the question: what is Easter to you? Does it have relevance? And I know if I should pass on the microphone and ask everyone to give me a thought on what they think, some of you would qualify to preach here and not me. Because conceptually, in your mind, you have framed this whole thought of Easter so well, and you can articulate it in a way that will make sense to everybody else. But the deeper question to it is what is your heart saying about it? How close is your heart to the thought of your mind? Do we feel the same about Easter? He is reason for what that reminds me about my last child had an issue with a neighbor who had visited the house and they were playing and they had an argument, and my child felt he was right. But I came into the scene and playing a good father because you have a vista there, you want to make sure that that child is protected. I told my son, you need to say sorry. His question was, Why should I? And I said, Because he is crying, but he said, I didn't do anything. He took my thing, I took it back, and he is crying. He should be apologizing, not me. My question to you is why are you excited about Easter? Why is there any reason why we should be here today applauding and jumping and singing and and saying your love is amazing? What has his love done for you? I'm just getting you into thinking. I know I've ever read scripture, you would do it, but I never preach without it. But I want you to think why is Istar important? I know, I know, I know. Okay, fine. Why is that important? I know, I know, I know. But do you know here? So let's read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, and I read from verse 1. Paul was making a note to the church of Corinth, and from verse 1 he says to them, now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel. I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you. Remind you of the gospel I preach to you. Well, this is no news. You knew I wasn't around for a while. Whilst I was coming in the plane, there were Ghanaians in there because they were coming to Ghana, you know, the last mile of the flight. And two people in front of me, two at the back, for some reason they were all saying the same thing, talking about why they were coming, because they they had just met and um talking to each other. Oh, I'm going, what are you going to do? Well, I'm going for Easter. And then those at the back were talking so loud, I didn't even know why they were, but they were talking so loud and laughing and talking about coming to Ghana and going to Kweu for Easter um festival. If you don't know this and you're a visitor here, there's a place called Kwewu in the Eastern region. It is the headquarters of Easter celebration. That's where all the fun is. For some reason, everybody, it doesn't matter which tribe you belong to, ethnic group you belong to, when it's Easter time, you abandon whatever you know and go to Kwewu. And and they have fun then. These guys were just talking about going there and having fun and everything. And and they weren't saying anything bad, and I don't think there was anything wrong with it. But as a preacher, I was thinking, I was sitting there and pondering and saying, Kwewu Easter would cause people to fly down here. When actually Easter has nothing to do with Kwew, and I can tell you today, some Christians are home. In the name of oh, I'm just tired, I don't feel like going to church. Paul says, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel. What is the gospel? And can I bore you again in this church? The gospel is not about how you feel, the gospel is not a motivational message that comes to you to make you feel good about yourself. The gospel is something that Christ did so that you and I can be reconciled to God. So Easter is not whether you have a new clothes to wear or you felt good on that Sunday or anything happened. We are reminding you of a fact. What is this fact? The fact is that on a particular day, some centuries ago, somebody died. And why did he die? Somebody will quickly go to John 3 16 and say, Well, he died because he loved the soul much. Correct? Now, what is wrong with that quotation is that I emphasized on the soul much. Because right from Sunday school, we are taught that God's love is so amazing. You know, children, we love imaginary things, like we like to imagine stuff. So anything that we tell children, we have to exaggerate it. You know, you don't say come. When you say come to a child, they know that there's trouble. You say, Come. You know, but you don't say come to an adult. When you say come to an adult, they don't think, have I done something wrong? No. But when you say come to a child, it's too brief. You have to exaggerate it. Come, it's like, okay, everything is alright. So we were told the story for God so loved the world, and when you emphasize on so love the world, what it means is that the love is so big, right? So love the world, and some of us have grown with that. Can I disappoint you? The word so there was not describing how big or great God's love is, it has nothing to do with how magnificent God. You see, God's love doesn't need adjectives, actually. It doesn't need to be described in a way beyond what it really is. God is love, case close. If you don't know what that means, then you haven't experienced them yet. I don't have to tell you God so loves you to make his love so great. When I say God loves you, God loves you. But just back to the point. Before John 3 16, there was verse 14 and 15. And what John was saying was just like in the days of Moses, when the serpent had come to infest their cum and was biting them, and they have lifted up the bronze serpent, and they lifted their eyes to the bronze serpent in the same way, God loved the world. The word so there simply meant in the same manner, in the same manner. I'm not making this up. Read it up. I'm not making it up. You don't need to be a Bible scholar to do, you just have to stop reading verses. You need to read chapters, in the same manner, God loved us, just like the bronze serpent was placed on the cross or on the tree, in the same way Christ is placed on the tree, so that anyone who believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. That is the gospel that through Christ we are reconciled to him. The gospel can never be about what we want. Paul addressing the church says, I want to remind you, because you see, in every human institution, our subsistence struggle or existential struggles are real. Eunice in a call to worship today took us through the road of Emmaus. And the people after Jesus had resurrected and met them on their way were so dejected and said to Jesus, we had thought he was going to deliver us. And Jesus said, Guys, there's something wrong with your theology. Indeed, he delivered you. But the issue is your gospel is different from God's gospel. The gospel of existentialism is simply this: that we are suffering, we are poor, we are sick, we are broken, we have emotional challenges, we're having marital issues, relationship issues, and so we believe that by believing in the death and the resurrection of Christ, we would no longer be sick. That we would have a lot of money, that we will have good relationships, that everything will be perfect. That is our gospel. That gospel has a name, it is called the prosperity gospel. Paul says, Let me remind you of what I used to preach to you. And it's the same thing I'm going to continue to preach to you. He says that gospel is that Christ died. But not just that. Again, even in a sound Christian doctrine, we get stuck on the death of Christ. He paid the ultimate price, he paid the biggest price in life. Yes, he did. But Paul's theology about this is the death without the resurrection is useless. It is not even half an accomplishment. And I'm going to read that to you. So let me pause so you don't hold me accountable for this. You can hold Paul accountable for it. So let's start again. He said, Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preach to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel, you are saved. If you hold firmly to the word I preach to you, then he goes on. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. If you believe in any other gospel, apart from the gospel that he said he had preached to his people, then you have believed in vain. And I am not shy to say, or I'm not worried to say, many of us have believed in vain. And I'm worried about it, and I always say this, and I say it respectfully. I don't say it that because that happened to you, probably are not saved. But I like people to rethink and see if truly they've made a shift from it. Some of you got saved because you went to church, and the pastor preached an emotional sermon about how horrible your life is without Jesus Christ, that you don't have marriage, marriage, you're not in you're not married uh because you don't you've not given your life to Christ, you don't have a job because you've not given your life to Christ. If things are bad in your life because you haven't given your life to Christ, and then he ends the sermon by saying, if you want to live a more fulfilling life, would you give your life to Christ? And he says, Raise up your hand, and in tears, because your life is so tatted that you needed an immediate redemption, you lifted your hands. But he never touched on the fact that the reason you need Jesus Christ is that you're so drowned and dead in sin, and you need God to bring you out of that. So your gospel had a different foundation, it was founded on your subsistent and existential struggles rather than your spiritual need to be saved. And the reason I want us to contemplate on this is that we're no longer excited about Christmas, we're not excited about Easter. These things don't fulfill our existential needs anymore. And the worst of it is that for many of us who now have what we wished for, what else then do we seek from this whole story? If you want to be rich and you are rich, if you want a mansion and you live in a mansion, if if you want money in your account and you want to be married and you're married, what use is the gospel? What use is the resurrection? It has no meaning any longer. But hear me. You can give the best medication to a patient, but if the diagnosis is wrong, you're rather killing the person. And for many of us who are Christians today have been made more unbelievers because the diagnosis was wrong and they presented as a good medication, which was the truth of the gospel, but our understanding for taking that gospel was wrong. We are afraid to talk about sin as pastors because if I start talking about sin right now, your notion about me would be I'm judgmental. But I'm sorry, I don't remember the Bible saying that God foresaw the future and realized that Pastor Nathan needs a Range Rover, and if I don't die on the cross, he cannot get a Range Rover. And so, Jesus, you have to lay down your throne and go and die so Nathan can have a Range Rover. For those of you who have been submitting your passport for prayers, before the world was formed, before the foundation of the earth was laid, the blood of the Lamb was shed so that your passport can receive visa. See, that is laughable because it doesn't make sense to certain class of people. I see we have some vistas here. If you're an American and you're from Britain or from Canada, and you're asking visa for what? Why did they submit for visa? Why would they do that? No, you understand it. When we want to come to your country, it's a prayer topic. When you want to come here, you're doing us a favor. I mean, that's what we think. We take our passports to for prayer meetings. I haven't started that ministry yet. I have to start it. It makes a lot of good money, I think. Maybe I should think about it. But that's how trivial Easter, the death, and the resurrection of Christ has become. You see that communion there? It has stopped being a reminder of the death and the sacrifice of Jesus. It has become a talisman in the Christian church where people go for power. People go for power. It's about I want healing. And so some people don't go to church, but they will not miss communion service. When all the Bible wants us to know is what Paul is now going to tell us. For what in verse 3, for what I received, I passed on to you as of first importance, as of first importance, as the most foundational of the gospel. That Christ died for your passports. What version are you using? This NIV. It says, For Christ died because you were poor. No, guys, check it well. Can you use NIV? Because I think you're giving them a different version, they're disagreeing with me. Let me put it in my own way. Paul says the most important thing, what is foundational about the gospel, is that Christ died so you would be emotionally connected. No, he said that Christ died for our sins. The very word we are scared of mentioning in church today. The word sin. Now we'll replace the word sin with any kind of word, a mistake, an error, a misjudgment, uh, a wrong decision, and anything that will make it look nice. Sin. So you're not excited about Easter anymore because what you relate Easter to has nothing to do with sin. It has got to do with the promises that the pastor told you that God has given your life. You've been a church for many years and you haven't seen those promises. Interestingly, in the charismatic church, the promises always happen to the pastor and his family. I don't know how it works, but I don't know how. They were the only ones who became Christians when they were poor, and many years later they are rich with private jets. And the congregation member is waiting for the day of fulfillment, and it never happens, and scripture gets fulfilled. Scripture says hope deferred makes the heart sick, and many have fallen sick because they're tired of this false hope that has been given them from the pulpit for years. And so Easter means nothing anymore to us. But ladies and gentlemen, if Easter is about sin, even for me today, it still means something. Because if not for that, I'm not qualified to be here today. Because of his death, I can boldly tell you I'm righteous. And you ask me on what basis am I righteous? And I'm gonna say just a very short sentence. I'm not gonna give you a resume of how good I've been and all the right things I've done. Somebody tried it with Jesus. He said, I've fulfilled all the things in the law. And Jesus said, Very well said, go sell your things and follow me. And he left heartbroken. So I'm not gonna try that. I don't have a resume about how good I am. My resume is simple. I am righteous because he says I am righteous. I am righteous because he died for my sins. That is why I am righteous. Peter, whilst preaching in Acts chapter 10, the verse 34, Peter said, It is clear and obvious that God has no favorites. The church unfortunately created favoritism. You know how we did it? We gave you the promise, you started sitting at the back because you didn't feel worthy of it. You come and you sneak in at the back there somewhere, and church, our church is small, so sitting at the back is almost like sitting in the front. But for big churches, you get high, hidden at the back, you don't feel worthy of it. And somewhere, somehow, some breakthrough came to your life, and you started making money. Your car changed. The the parking protocol team noticed that and informed Pastor that we've seen some new car. Oh, we already know him. So no, something changed in your life. And then Pastor had a very special uh request. He said, You know, we're trying to put up uh a new church building, and we we need people to to make some donation to the church, and uh, before he ended, your hand was up. You're not rich. Pastor took notice of you, he had a consultation with you, he's never bothered to speak to you. But this time, you are an important member of the church, and so now you can have free access to pastor. Now, pastor thinks that the amount of money you have will be lost if you sit at the back. So now they give you a seat right behind the elders. Without officially saying anything, the congregation begins to realize that the richer you are, the closer you are to the pulpit, the poorer you are, the further you are away from it. Because the gospel that is preached at church is a gospel of prosperity, and prosperity is equated to righteousness. I've said this to you a hundred times. There was a big pastor in this country of a very big church. I was driving and I was listening to his preaching, and he made this amazing statement that made me an unbeliever. He said, if you are poor right now and you don't have so-so-and-so money in your bank account, then check your relationship with God. And I understood why. The most admirable thing to do for God is to become a preacher in the city and not a missionary in the village. Because if poverty is equated to righteousness, then we will all stay in the city, so we dress good and look good, and not go to the hinterlands and the villages and go and do mission work. Because who is going to pay you and make you look rich when you go there? Paul says the gospel is about the death of Christ for our saints according to how he felt. Again, we have lost meaning for Easter because I can tell you that the most popular thing that happens during Easter is Easter Monday. What is Easter Monday? Easter Monday again is the Monday after the Sunday, the good Sunday, where we all go for picnics. By the way, public announcement. Tomorrow we have a picnic here. Maybe not in this church, you will see people who have never been to church for years. Because Easter means what we have designed now. When Paul says it is not according to human design, it is according to scriptures. What does scripture say about Easter? What is the relevance of it? Is it to eat and drink and just jump about and be happy, or to remember the death of Christ for our sins? He says, according to scripture, the gospel is simply this we were sinful, and the wages of sin is death. The Bible makes it clear that a person, the soul that sins, dies. And here's this theology also that we're not uh known of because then in the 21st century, especially, the theology has shifted towards God's love, and all we talk about is God is love. If it's a loving God, if it's a loving God, but there's also an attribute of God that is still true. The attribute is that God is just, just simply means that every wrong that is performed against his holiness must be punished, and so even though he loved us, loving us without being just would not make him the God the Bible preaches to us. And so we were to die, but what did he do? He died on our behalf, and why did he die? It's still too the issue, the theology of sin. He died because of our sins. I'm sorry if you came here for some, because his reason, receiving. I'm sorry. If you're a member of this church, you're used to it by now. But if you vista, I'm I'm sorry for the disappointment. Go and say the preacher is such a bad person, he kept talking about sin. I give up on him. Amen. Because that's the only reason why Christ came to die. You may try to extend it to other things, but Paul says, according to scripture, not according to what the church formulated afterwards, not what we came up with afterwards, but according to scripture, the death and the purpose for that death was for our sins. Then it goes on that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day, again, according to scripture, not the pastor's whims and caprices, it's not it's not the church's mood and feel, but according to scripture, and that he appeared to say first, and then to the 12th, and so he begins to make the testimony that look, this is not just by me, but there are many witnesses to this. Let's make a shift to verse 12. But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless, and so is your faith. Can I say something about this? It doesn't matter how many prophecies you receive about how well you're going to do, it doesn't matter how uh the 10 points of becoming moving from poverty to to riches, the 10 points of effective uh marriage and relationship, all of these things, it doesn't matter. Look, Paul says, if according to scripture, our preaching of Jesus being raised is false, no other message matters for your faith. Your faith is futile. The only reason why our faith means anything is that Christ died for our sins and he resurrected according to scripture. Then he goes on to say this more than that. Now pay attention. When somebody says is making an argument and says more than that, he says, I'm gonna tell you something even better than the first one. More important than this, he says, more than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about Christ. The reason I'm not scared to call out prosperity gospel preachers and the prosperity gospel itself is that it is creating falsehood, and the Bible calls it false witness. He says, For we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead, but he did not raise him, and he's making an argument. If he didn't raise him, and we have said he raised him, but he did not raise him. In fact, the dead are not raised, then he's saying that there's no point of thinking about being raised, for if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins. Why is it con why is it connecting sin to resurrection? Why shouldn't be the resurrection be the dead things in your life shall resurrect? Amen. Wouldn't you respond? Christ is reason every dead relationship shall resurrect, amen. Oh come on, this is still a charismatic church. Paul makes all this argument to link your saints back to the resurrection. Wow, what happened to our church? What happened to the pulpit? What happened to Easter? But the part I'm going to read to you is what breaks my heart the most. Verse 18. Then those also who are falling asleep in Christ are lost. There's no hope for all those who are dead. There is no meeting anywhere, and we singing hallelujah. It's all gone. But for those of you who are alive, and for those of us who are alive, verse 19 speaks directly to us. And please pay attention. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. If our theology about the death and the resurrection of Christ is not about sin and the reconciliation of man to God, so that after this life we can live eternally with God. But all we think about is that his death and resurrection means something to us only today, for how we feel, how we live, how we we enjoy life here. Paul says, You not the sinner, not the unbeliever. You know why? At least the unbeliever had some fun. He did what he wanted to do. At the end of his life, he's going to say, I have run a good race and I fought a good fight. Now, what is left for me is to have an eternal death. What would you say? Why did you deny yourself? Today's Sunday. Some people are sitting in some beer bar somewhere having great conversations and drinking and enjoying, and you were sitting here listening to your boring pastor preaching to you again about sin. What have you gained? Paul says, if your expectation is only about mansions and money and marriage and visas and relationships and every promotion at work, and I'm not saying these things are wrong, I'm just saying I don't know how that forms the gospel. I don't know how that sneaked into our gospel. Paul says, if that is your thought, then unbelievers would have to have a convention and pray and pity us. We are to be pitied of all people because we've believed a lie. But praise be to God. We have not believed a lie. I was once blind, but now I see. I was lost, but I'm found. That is the testimony that should wake us up every Sunday to church. Not because I didn't have food to eat, it's painful. I've been there before. I know what it means to be a young student in bed at night and you're hungry and there's nothing in your chuck box. I've been there. I know what it means to walk from the University of Ghana to a place called Medina Estate because I was hungry and I got home and my parents were there, and the only food they had they had eaten, and were just sitting around having a conversation, and I knew they had no money, and I collapsed in bed. April did they try to wake me up and I couldn't. Praise God, I got up later. I know what that means. But whether or not I lived or I died, that is not the gospel. That is not what would push me to come to church. My testimony is not because I couldn't have food to eat at that time and I suffered. Now I can wear my own clothes, what I want, you know, praise the Lord, I'm going to church. That is not it. What should wake you up in bed is to ponder over the possibility of you facing the wrath of God in judgment, and that he was going to sentence you to an eternal life of no redemption, and instead of that, he embraced you like the prodigal son's story, and I want to end with that. The Bible tells us that it was this young man who said, I've had enough. Could you give me part of my property and let me go and have fun? And he had fun and squandered everything. And the Bible said he came to his senses, and that's where people get stuck. He thought right, he came to his senses, he did such an amazing thing. Who wouldn't come to his senses when you squandered all your money? Why wouldn't you? When your father still has got money, you need to come to your senses. Usually, when there's abundance, we don't think right. There are times when I have I have the best plan when I don't have money. The moment I have money, I don't know where that plan goes. After spending that money, I know how to use money better. But it's always after I've spent it on something useless. He came to his senses and he went back home. But here's the story: you will not understand it, you don't get it. Even today, if you go to the Middle East, the Palestine area, they will still understand that story as unbelievers if they are Muslims, then you will. Because the heart of the story is not the son going back. The heart of the story is that the father still seeing his son and recognizing him from afar and not waiting for his son to come, but running towards him to embrace him and to kiss him. In that time of our human history, when you desert your home, your father literally cuts you off. It is an affront to your father to run towards you who deserted him. It is of low repute for a man to run towards a son who did him wrong. But the father did not think of that. And that doesn't that sound similar to what Philippians tells us that he did not count it robbery, but to lay aside whatever godly, divine nature he had and took on the flesh of humanity and came to embrace. In our failure. That is what Easter is about. And today, if I say shout, Amen, hallelujah, I want you to know how sinful you were. You see, Good Friday was the day God exhibited the greatest love, but also was the day that humanity exhibited the most wickedness of their nature. Peter said in his first sermon, God planned it, but you killed them. Easter Friday, we see two natures exhibited God's love and the wickedness of man. Whilst God was showing love, man was showing the full force of his or her wickedness. But Easter Sunday shows us a miracle. The miracle is this whilst we were yet sinners, whilst we were yet sinners, he came alive so that we in our Good Friday's sinful nature can still have our sins forgiven. I will end on a good note where you can shout amen. I always tell you I'm one person who has such quiet ambitions, also. But I'm sorry, I I wasn't ordained to teach you how to make money. I was ordained to be a witness of Christ and to help all of us to be reconciled to God. And so when I come here and I preach these things to you, I'm trying to follow what Paul did. Not to preach something that will make me have a big congregation, it's to preach according to Scripture. So that my testimony would be that according to Scripture, this is what God wants. Have a reason. And the reason shouldn't only be because you saw the light the next day, sunlight. The reason should be because Christ saved you from sin. And he did it so amazingly that even when we were not there, that grace still covered us today. And so we have a reason to be happy today. We are reconciled with God. No, no, that needs a beginning. We are reconciled to God. If this means nothing to you, then nothing else would mean anything to you. And so, Father, we thank you. May our lives be reflective of who you truly are because we benefited from your death and your resurrection. May Easter not just be a moment of eating and drinking and having fun, but may it be a reflection of what truly it means to be saved. In Jesus' mighty name.
