Watergate and the Empty Tomb
Liars don’t last long… but truth doesn’t die.
Two weeks ago we looked at what Jesus finished on the cross. Today we ask a different question: why didn’t the story end there?
In this message, we examine the resurrection through an unexpected comparison. Watergate exposed something about human nature — when pressure increases, lies fall apart. Stories change. People turn on each other. Cover-ups collapse.
But the resurrection account didn’t collapse under pressure. It was preached in Jerusalem, where it was easiest to disprove. The disciples went from hiding in fear to boldly proclaiming that Jesus was alive. They suffered, they were beaten, and yet they did not stop teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus (Acts 5:42).
Was it invented? Hallucinated? Or witnessed?
Christianity does not begin with rules — it begins with a claim: Jesus is alive. And if that claim is true, it demands more than admiration. It demands repentance, faith, and obedience.
1 Corinthians 15:20 says, “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead.”
This is not an invitation to religion.
It is a declaration that a King walked out of a grave.
Join us as we examine the evidence and consider what the empty tomb means for us today.
