As Christians we’ve been raised from the dead – just as Christ was raised from the dead (see Ephesians 2:4–7).

Christ had no sin. He died and rose for us. (see 2 Corinthians 5:21)

We don’t experience a literal, bodily resurrection as Christ did, but when we accept Christ as Lord and Saviour we are cleansed and forgiven – certain of a future hope in him. (see 2 Corinthians 1:10)

The Raised with Christ video series showcases the contrast of living in the dark (before Christ) with living in the light (the light of Christ).

Jean Louis Kassis tells his story of growing up in Beirut, Lebanon, a war zone, feeling unloved as a child, sexual abuse and how he was on the wrong path. Jean Louis tells how finding Jesus has helped him turn his life around, leading him out of the dark.
