Jesus was really dead!
Who was in charge of making sure Jesus died on the cross?
Roman Centurion - It was his job
He was an expert - if he got it wrong then he’d be next up on the cross!
Then Jesus’ body was put in a tomb -he’d been dead since Friday.
And in those days, it was customary to put spices on the dead body after so that it doesn’t smell so bad!
Jesus was really dead!
But what happens when they get to the tomb?
He is not here!!
He is not here!!
This is the greatest news that has ever been heard!
Everything Christian’s believe hangs on this simple statement!
He is not here!
The tomb is empty.
Mostly it’s a bad thing when something isn’t where you expect to find them!
Biscuit Box - Empty
Chocolates - Empty
Wallet - Empty
When your teddy bear isn’t in your bed!
When the car keys aren’t in the usual place and you’re running late!
Other examples...
No ice cream in the ice-cream van
No remote control for the TV
It’s BAD NEWS when something is not where you’d expect!
But NOT WITH JESUS!
HE IS NOT HERE!!!
Which means...
He has risen
v6b-8
Jesus is RISEN,
The tomb is empty.
Jesus is RISEN - SIN dealt with!
Sin dealt with!
Every promise that God would rescue his people from death and sin
(What’s SIN)
Shove OFF God - I’m in Charge - Not you!
We deserve to be rejected by God, to face the consequences that we have chosen!
BUT NO!
HE IS NOT HERE!
HE HAS RISEN
It’s all fine and well saying that Jesus took our punishment on the cross for our sin before God.
Jesus is RISEN - All the proof we need!
But if that’s where the story ended,
we’d still have a problem.
We’d have no proof, we’d have no confidence, we’d have no assurance that we would have life with a loving God after we die.
But HE IS NOT HERE - Death is defeated, the price of sin has been paid for - every promise of God is shown to be trustworthy!
Everyone was convinced that JESUS had risen from the dead
These
look
Emphasis ‘BUT’
luke 24 9-
They still weren’t sure!
Which brings us onto our last point...
It might sound like nonsense, but that doesn’t mean it is!
People used to think the world was flat, and I bet the first people to try saying it was round were thought to be pretty crazy!
I mean, imagine I told you that Rats’ can surf.
Would you think it sounded like nonsense?
CLIP
You see, it doesn’t really matter what you think, it matters what actually is true.
13-
Jesus went on to meet with many people, even a crowd of over 500 men once!
But just because so
I
HE HAS RISEN!
Those disciples would go to on to die themselves defending what they knew to be true!
Jesus has RISEN!
DOn’t go away today believing that Jesus is still in the tomb -
It might sound like nonsense, but that doesn’t mean it is!
it may sound like nonsense, but that doesn’t mean it
This is a day to celebrate!
To praise our saviour, to lift up his glorious name.
To thank him for his power
To love him for his compassion on us
To celebrate his authority over even death
To know him as your brother and friend
To accept his underserved and merciful forgiveness
To cast your worries on to him
To seek him in his word
To serve him with every breath we have...
To KNOW HIM, and to ENJOY HIM FOREVER
It might sound like nonsense, but…if you’re looking for Jesus in a tomb...
He is not hear!
HE HAS RISEN!
JESUS HAS RISEN!
Hallelujah!
