Resurrection Facts

Resurrection-God’s Power Over Death

Mark 12:24–27 ESV

Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite wrong.”

chpt 8,9,10-Jesus Talks about His resurrection

David Prior-”Many Christians have never applied their faith either to their ordinary thinking or their daily behavior.”

How Often does the Resurrection have an affect on your life?

Resurrection-God’s Power Over Death

what does this mean for us?

1. Denial of the Resurrection-ours not Christs

The fact of Jesus’ resurrection guarantees ours

they believed no one else would raise. v1 -011 Paul was telling them that the gospel inc resurrection

Paul saya that ours will because of His Jesus told Martha I Am the resurrection

cant have one w/o the other if Jesus then us

2. Preaching is in vain

Kenos=empty

There is no point in the pulpit

no point in evangelism-some say whooo because pastor keeps telling us to proclaim

No point in sharing testimony

3. Faith is Vain

faith is our strength

saved by grace through faith

faith always in everything brings you back to the promises of God in Jesus

Hebrews 6:7–8 ESV

For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

4. we misrepresent God

Testimony is false=testify in court @ the threat of perjury??in God’s court???

testified when their lives were on the line =Paul was stoned on Galatia

testimony got them thrown in jail

You are still in your sins

that means no forgiveness

whatever god people follow appeasing them was key

Jesus satisfied God’s wrath and gained us peace by the forgiveness of our sins

Means that Jesus didnt defeat the power of sin

if this is true we have no chance for victorious lives....now or in eternity

we are cutoff from all His power

6. Those who have fallen asleep

are not with Jesus

they have simply justy perished and no morer to be seen again

Bill Gates=I know a guy who says this is the only life he gets wants or needs we become fertilizer for the next gen=thats why millenials are what they are....bad fertilizer

7. We are to be pitied

we spend opur lives chasing stuff and thats it

this life only with no hope=how sadthis leaves us empty and dead

1 John 2:17 ESV

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Galatians 5:17 ESV

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

then just be consumed with “have your best life now” well this life is hard and i have made a mess out of it....I want a better life
