This morning I want to talk to you about “Detaching the Cross From Religion.”  You may think, “Hmm, that is an unusual topic for Resurrection Sunday.”  Give me a few moments, and you will better understand why it is the perfect sermon for Resurrection Sunday.
I never understood the surprise of the people when they found an empty tomb; Jesus prepared them for His resurrection during His life as He raised Lazarus from the dead.  

My thought would have been, “OK, Lazarus was dead, laid dead for four days, and all Jesus did was call His name, and he was resurrected, so my thought would have been just maybe Jesus will resurrect himself in three days; that would have been my thought…. Just based on common sense alone.

But the religious leaders were so stuck on what they imagined the Messiah to be, to look like, to act, and even to come from; they refused to put aside the religious beliefs they had concocted in their minds, despite the foretold prophecies Jesus had been fulfilling since His miraculous birth. 

Despite bearing witness to Jesus calming the storms, defying mathematical principles while feeding 5,000 with two fish and five loaves of bread.
