The resurrection is the most earth-altering, earth-shattering event in human history.
It is the most well-documented fact of ancient history.
And yet, it is the most debated fact of all history.
There is nothing more consequential than your reception or rejection of the resurrection of Jesus.
I can think of only 3 reasons people do not believe the resurrection:
Unfamiliar with the facts
Gary Habermas - Minimal Facts Approach
Lee Strobel - Set out to disprove Christianity and became a Christian
Presuppose miracles are not possible
In a circular way, the rejection of miracles causes one to reject all evidence of miracles
People don’t like the implications
That they are going to be held accountable for their actions
Underlying reason is that unless God reveals himself to us, we will by nature reject him.
Mankind is bound by the curse of sin.
This curse is precisely what Jesus came to reverse and in doing so bring glory to himself and glory to the Father.
Knowing all that would happen to him...
God had a plan.
From the beginning, God had a plan.
That plan was the glory of God.
The hour has come...
What hour?
The hour of the crucifixion.
This is the high point of all the history of the universe.
There is no more significant scene in this play.
You are not the significance
“Jesus couldn’t bear the thought of eternity without you, so he chose the nails.”
- Max Lucado
“Heaven went bankrupt to get you back.” - Todd White
“You’re not a good person.
The world is not better off with you.
You don’t have a good heart.
The biggest enemy in your life, is you.
The biggest problem you have, is you.
You can stop blaming your parents, you can stop blaming your politicians, you can stop blaming your genetics, you can stop blaming your culture, you can stop blaming your upbringing.
At the end of the day, you are responsible before God, for you.
You are not the solution, you are the problem.
Jesus Christ came to save from Satan, sin, death, hell, the wrath of God and to save you from you.
You are the greatest enemy you have.
If you are the enemy, who’s going to save you from you?
If you are the problem, the solution cannot be you.
We’re not evolving and getting better.
Education, will not fix this problem.
Economic equality, will not fix this problem.
Social justice, will not fix this problem.
This is not only your problem, this is the problem of all humanity, this is the problem of sin, and only Jesus is the solution to that problem.
He’s the victory of that enemy.
The good news is that Jesus Christ died for our sin, for your sin, for my sin.”
Good Friday sermon 2019
The cup the Father has given me...
Jesus knew what was about to happen, he laid his life down for his sheep.
My kingdom is not of this world...
Jesus is a king and he does have a kingdom.
But this place we live now is just temporary.
The Bible teaches us that we have a spirit.
That our spirits are eternal.
Think about someone who is maimed?
Are they less themselves because of it?
Even brain damage or dementia?
How would you know?
You’d have to talk to someone from the other side.
We have that someone.
His name is Jesus.
From the Father
In the beginning
Creator of heaven and earth
Sustainer of all things, he holds all things together by the word of his power!
You say that I’m a king...
But not the type of king that Pilate was thinking.......
For this purpose...
Truth.
Jesus came from heaven, he ascended back into heaven, he is preparing a place for his redeemed people!
Listens to my voice...
Rylee and Luis story...
Bearing his own cross...
Feeling alone is absolutely the worst feeling in the world.
All Jesus’ friends abandon him in his greatest hour of need.
Jesus was crucified with criminals, blamed but innocent, accused but without fault, condemned but without sin
All was now finished...
God had a plan all along.
God had purposes, things for Jesus to fulfill
God has the ability to take the evil of man, and turn it for good.
God took the most evil act in all human history, and turned it into the greatest good.
If God can do that, he can turn whatever evil you are facing in you life to good.
He must rise from the dead...
Why?
Why must he rise?
Because this was the defeat of death.
This was the defeat of the power of death.
This was the clear and decisive reversal of the curse.
Romans 5 explains that through one man death entered the world, and through one man grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ.
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb
