Jesus and the Death Star The Gathering Podcast

Have you ever wondered why Jesus needed to be buried? Why didn't He simply die on the cross, pause for dramatic effect, and then step off the cross resurrected? In this Easter message, Paul suggests that God planted Jesus deep in the tomb and lit a 3-day fuse so that He could completely destroy the works of the devil, and compares that to Luke Skywalker making sure that his weapons got to the center of the Death Star. When we understand the principle that God uses pain to plant His power, we'll start carrying the resurrection power planted in us - weapons of mass restoration! - to the places and people that need it deeply.
