resurreCtIon sunday: some are stIll left wIth spIrItual CanCer
come in our best clothes, sing the most triumphant songs, and shout, “ He is risen indeed! ”
But I must ask a hard question today:
If Resurrection Sunday is about the baptism of a new life, why are so many still walking
around with SPIRITUAL CANCER ?
While the church is full of joy today, some hearts are still full of bitterness . While the
sanctuary is ringing with praise, some souls are still chained to sin . While we talk about
resurrection, many have not experienced true transformation .
Paul warned Timothy about people like Hymenaeus and Philetus. They were not just
wrong — they were spiritually toxic . Paul said their words spread like cancer . And
today, there’s still a spiritual cancer spreading in our homes, our pulpits, our pews.
So, let’s talk about it. Because Resurrection Sunday isn’t just a holiday, it’s a diagnosis
and a treatment plan. It’s God’s remedy for the soul sick with sin .
The Nature of Spiritual Cancer
When Paul uses the word cancer (or gangrene in some translations ), he’s talking about
something that spreads silently but destructively. It eats away at life from the inside. Just
like physical cancer can live undetected in the body, spiritual cancer can live undetected
in the soul.
What is spiritual cancer ?
• It is a false teaching that distorts the truth.
• It is bitterness that goes unaddressed.
