The Risen King
🌟 Sermon Summary: The Risen King | Pastor Derek Foo (Resurrection Sunday, 20 April 2025) 🌟
Last Sunday, we celebrated the greatest truth in human history—Jesus is alive.
Through a powerful youth performance to the song “Redeemed” and an in-depth message from Pastor Derek Foo, we were reminded that the resurrection is not just a moment in time—it is a call to faith, action, and transformation.
Using all four Gospel accounts, Pastor Derek painted a multifaceted portrait of the Risen King, revealing four powerful truths:
1️⃣ Luke – The Risen King Gives Proof
📖 Luke 24
Jesus didn’t expect blind belief—He gave verifiable evidence of His resurrection.
He walked, talked, and ate with His disciples.
He broke bread and showed His scars.
➡️ Faith is not a feeling—it’s anchored in historical truth.
📌 “Look at my hands and feet… Touch me and see.”
2️⃣ Matthew – The Risen King Holds All Authority
📖 Matthew 28
An earthquake, a rolled-away stone, trembling guards, and an angel’s announcement—Matthew captures the heavenly power of the resurrection moment.
Jesus declares: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
➡️ The risen Christ reigns. He is not just Savior—He is King.
3️⃣ John – The Risen King Meets Us Personally
📖 John 20
Jesus calls Mary by name.
He invites Thomas to touch His wounds.
➡️ He sees our grief, our doubts, and our need for reassurance.
📌 “Do not doubt, but believe.”
➡️ The Risen King deals with each of us personally and tenderly.
4️⃣ Mark – The Risen King Demands a Response
📖 Mark 16:1–8
Mark’s Gospel ends abruptly: the women leave in fear, and the canvas of the resurrection story is left unfinished.
Why? Because the response is ours to write.
➡️ Will we shrink back in fear—or step forward in faith?
💡 Final Reflection:
Jesus is not just a story—He is the Risen King.
He proves it.
He reigns with power.
He knows your name.
And He’s waiting for your response.
🙌 What will you do with the Risen King?
