6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.
7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
8 So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
He Fulfills Prophecy (6)
He Fulfills Prophecy (6)
Let’s take a brief look back at the Old Testament to see how this comes into play; specifically through the shedding of blood and the crucifixion.
Blood is the symbol of life and the soul.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
Blood was offered for “lesser” sins by pouring it onto the brazen altar.
It was offered for “greater” sins by sprinkling on the altar after a burnt-offering. It was also sprinkled seven times toward the holy of holies.
reminds us that this can never really take sins away.
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
tells us why.
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
If blood is required, but that of animals and birds aren’t enough, what is?
If I damaged an item you owned, you’d want me to replace it wouldn’t you?
A broken hammer with a new hammer.
A fishing rod with one of similar size and purpose.
Friends, a payment for our sins is required. Blood is demanded and the only blood that will be good enough is your own blood.
I can’t pay for your sins. Only you can.
This is why the Savior is so important.
He was sent as a man. One of us.
He lived a perfect life. He could actually be the sacrifice we needed.
Foretelling of His sacrifice is seen in
12 Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
13 They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.
18 They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.
He had to be crucified.
23 his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God.
Paul reminds the believers in Galatia of this verse in Deut.
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Jesus told us in John’s gospel that He was the life; implying that the crucifixion and thereby death, would not hold Him!
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
We don’t serve a dead Jesus, but a living God! He prophesied on His own behalf that He would rise again.
He is God (6)
He is God (6)
“He is risen”
Who else but God could rise on His own from the dead?
Who else can raise the dead?
Some people said he “made” Himself the Son of God.
The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”
Others made their confession out of a knowledge that He was the Son of the living God.
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matt.
Jesus Himself admits He is God.
I and My Father are one.”
John
Who but God could defy natural laws?
Who but God could bring life back to the dead?
Who but God knows all things prior to their happening?
Who but God could be the sacrifice that He demands?
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:1-
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
John 1:14-
Friends, as God He is warning us that we need to come to Him in faith and repentance.
The Bible says, “wide is the road that leads to destruction”
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
The problem for many who claim to be Christians is found in
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
They’ve “believed” in His name, but haven’t received Him.
Receiving Christ doesn’t mean you’ve been baptized and are on a church roll.
It doesn’t mean you’ve prayed a “sinners prayer” at one time in your live.
It doesn’t mean you try to do right by your neighbor, making the world a better place.
Receiving Him means:
Placing your complete hope and trust in Him.
Walking with Him daily as a disciple.
Renouncing sin and striving to live in holiness.
It means sharing the Good News of the gospel and making disciples who make disciples.
Friends, this is the difference in believing and receiving a Holy God as your Savior and believing in a “like” and “share” Jesus.
He is a righteous, and holy God not to be brought out on Sunday alone, but worshipped and adored daily!
He is to be Obeyed (7-8)
He is to be Obeyed (7-8)
“He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
“So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb”
28 “But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.”
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
Check out what comes next in Matthew:
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
We see the same commission in Mark.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
