What Could Jesus Do With Your Impossible?

Apr 5, 2026    Todd Stanley

This powerful Easter message centers on Luke 24:1-9, where the women discover the empty tomb and encounter angels who declare that Jesus has risen. The central question posed is profound: What could Jesus do with your impossible? Throughout the message, we're reminded that Jesus has always had a history with the impossible - calming storms that terrified experienced fishermen, multiplying five loaves and two fish to feed thousands with leftovers to spare, and raising Lazarus after four days in the tomb. Yet the greatest impossible of all was His own resurrection. The stone wasn't rolled away so Jesus could get out; it was rolled away so we could see in. This truth transforms everything we face. Whatever feels dead in our lives - whether it's a broken relationship, an enslaved habit, a devastating diagnosis, or crushing guilt - resurrection power shows up in the places we've given up on. The message challenges us to stop trying to manage, fix, or ignore our impossible situations and instead open our hands in trust, releasing control and making room for God to move. When we participate in communion, we're not just remembering what happened; we're receiving the life that the resurrection makes possible. The same body that was broken was raised, and the same blood that was poured out secured our victory.
