Think of a time when you witnessed something happening.
Think of a time when you witnessed something happening.
Do you remember something traumatic happening to you or in front of you?
Do you remember the details of this?
What was it?
I remember 9/11 vividly.
Some of you were not born yet, right?
The news hit my HS in 9th grade as I was walking to physical science class.
I remember seeing students running to classes on a breeze way
Came into class; tv on; teacher told us to quiet and listen
Legit things that you witness you do not often forget
as time goes on the details might be fuzzy
and you will find out if you spend time there, talking about it with others who have seen it
Your memory is sharpened and you remember things vividly that you saw and that fuzz becomes clear
Faith in Christ Jesus, Lord and Savior is based on the testimony of eye witnesses
We do not have a autobiogragphy or a video on youtube or a facebook feed or instagram pictures to learn about Jesus
We have the eye witness accounts of several fellas
Mostly what the Gospels and NT are is accounts of eye witnesses
As we look forward to this weekend and the Easter Sunday Celebration
we can see this as a special religeous day or like just another Easter Sunday that will come same time next year
The biggness of this day can be lost on us if we do not see and understand what happened
Resurrection Day is a monumentous day for us as Christians
It is a Sunday like the rest but what we celebrate specially for this day is like no other!
This is the day we remember what Jesus did.
One Day.
At One Time
Hebrews 10:14
He is done!
What He accomplished on the Cross is suffiecient 2000 years later!
Let’s see two things tonight about Easter Sunday from
The lives of eye-witnesses are foundational to our faith in Jesus
The NT is a collection of what some men saw and witnessed in their lives
These eye-witness accounts are foundational to us
Notice Paul’s words in
Paul is reminding the Corinthians that the gospel came to them through their preaching of what they had seen and known
He then talks about details of what they had seen
Christ died for sins
Buried
raised to life
Appeared to Peter, 12 disciples, then 500 (skeptics of the resurrection try to say these folks just hollucinated this)
Jesus appeared to how many people?
500
500 people do not hollucinate the same thing, impossible!
Science
Then Paul says Jesus appeared to James and then to himself
The gospel we read of and believe is built upon what these guys saw with their own eyes
Just like 9/11 I will not forget it and these guys were touched by Jesus so that their lives were forever changed
Do you believe what we have recorded for us here?
Almost all of these guys went to their death proclaiming Jesus!
Not only death but terrible suffering before death
dieing for something is just too far out of our understandings to identify with
But pain is not hard for us… how many do not like needles?
Ya need it but why want to not do it?
Would you suffer and hurt for something you do not believe in?
Something that you believe is not true why do it?
Nope
Cancer treatment; anyone know what its like?
Terrible stuff
But the people who have seen and witnessed testify
We can see and it works so we hope for the best
Do you hope in what these men staked their lives on?
Do you believe Jesus is alive and Lord of all?
That He has perfected those being sanctified once for all?
Is He changing you?
Are you being conformed
Push in to His presence; repent of sin and look to Him NOW
The Resurrection is Essential to our Faith In Jesus
If there was no resurrection then there is no hope for us!
The resurrection is the proof that Jesus is Lord over sin and death
It also proves that His sacrifice was accepted by God on our behalf
Think about it… if Jesus did not come back to life but just disappeared
One that would have broken the promise of Scripture
Two that would leave people no assurance over death
Three that would leave a question of God’s power/authority over our sin
The resurrection is essential to our salvation in Jesus.
see
There is a death appointed for all to die
We all will die…none of us are invincible and we will not be taken up like Enoch
We will all die!
If in Christ death is not the end for us
Instead the earth body will die and the body that is bought by the Spirit will be raised to live eternally
let’s continue and see what else Paul has to say
1 Corinthians 15:
1 Corinthians 15:50-57
He is victorious!!!!
He Is LORD over sin and death
And He shares that victory with those saved by His grace!
So that when He returns He will bring life to those who are asleep and those who remain in their flesh
a few things to pick up here
V50 our flesh will not inheret the things of the Lord
Only if we have been saved and brought to life in the HS
If we are dead in our spirit then we will not be resurrected
Are you in the Spirit?
V52 in the twinkling of an eye the dead in Christ will be changed
The change is to imperishableness
My finger… it hurts
Now you feel invincible but your body will become your enemy
Maybe you have a chronic illness
What awaits is a body that will never fail but is full of God!
One day those in Him will be like Him!!!!
What a promise
