Hallelujah
Easter
This is not your traditional sermon. There are no seminary-taught three points to help you gauge your measured worship response and your anti-climactic shouts of ‘Amen’. There is but one point to be made here today on this Resurrection Sunday…and there is only one way to respond…Hallelujah.
Hallelujah is a Hebrew word that means “Praise Ye the Lord”. It is far more than a joyous affirmation; it is a boast of the Lord. Thus it only appears in the most fitting place in the Scriptures…in the Book of Revelations, at the culmination of our spiritual journey to know and understand our full and complete relationship with God.
Hallelujah. It’s the heavenly language of God’s earthly family. It’s the climactic shout of those who have called upon the name of the Lord, and been saved (Romans 10:13)…not by works…but according to His mercy (Titus 3:5). If you are in that number…shout Hallelujah.
If you know that your good intentions didn’t save you, you can shout Hallelujah.
If you know that your charming influence didn’t save you, you can shout Hallelujah.
If you know that your earnest prayers did not save you, you can shout Hallelujah.
If you know that your noble efforts, your dedicated devotion, your sacrificial giving, your inspired singing, your extreme fasting, your high standards and your zealous works did not save you, you can shout Hallelujah.
