Hope In Times Of Fear: The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter

Description

The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony–that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could “see” it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14)

After experiencing profound grief caused by Jesus’ death, nothing could have prepared his followers for the shock of his resurrection. They failed to recognize him—until Jesus encouraged them to see him as he truly is. Offering a fresh look at the Easter story, Timothy Keller will open your eyes to the presence of the risen Lord in Hope in Times of Fear.

Hope in Times of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus’s resurrection for readers.

Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb.

For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open.

Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed–filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.
