Jesus Is Risen To Find You | Easter at Vine Church

What draws people to church on Easter Sunday? For some, it’s tradition. For others, it’s because their children or grandchildren asked them to watch from the stage. But for many, it’s a deeper pursuit—one that longs for the real, resurrected Jesus.

This Easter, we remember that Jesus doesn’t simply wait to be found. He comes looking for us. He reveals Himself to the seeker, the skeptic, the broken, and the religious alike.

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” — Luke 19:10

This message is for those searching for truth, struggling with doubts, or trying to start over. Whether you’re Nicodemus with questions, Peter with revelation, the Samaritan woman with a complicated past, or disciples walking in confusion—Jesus comes to find you.

He finds us to serve us with love.

1 John 2:27

But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.

You are invited to listen, reflect, and respond. Jesus is not a concept, an ancient figure, or a forgotten teacher. He is alive, and He is pursuing your heart with love and truth.

This Easter, the question is not simply: Have you found Jesus?

The real question is: Will you let Him find you today?
