The Result of the Resurrection
The Result of the Resurrection
(What the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ means to Us Today)
We can not understand the Crucifixion of Jesus, without an understanding of the Resurrection.
We can not understand the Resurrection of Jesus, without an understanding of the nature of the fall of Man.
We can never get a grasp on the fall of man until we understand what happened on the cross.
Each event is interwoven with the others.
On the cross Jesus incurred what had already occurred in Adam. So we can not understand what happened in Adam until we understand what happened in Jesus.
God made Jesus to be sin for us. He who knew no sin, became sin, that we might be made Righteous. He came into this world, allowed God to impute into him the sin of a fallen race, so Jesus incurred in His body, what occurred in Adam when he died.
We must get past the theatrical aspect of the passion and see the indignity of DEATH.
I. Our Death in Sin.
In 1 Cor. 15-45-49 Paul tells us that only two men have ever died because of sin.
First Adam- A living Being,
Second Adam-A Life Giving Spirit.
First Man- From the Earth,
Second Man- From Heaven.
Romans 5:12
Genesis 5- The Image of fallen Man.
II. Our Eternal Life in Jesus
1 John 5:12
Colossians 3 (The “eternal” Life)
III. Our Redemption, Regeneration, Sanctification.
