I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection...Phil 3:10
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”..."Don't be alarmed," he said.(the angel) "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. - Mark 16:1-3,6
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C.S Lewis
Is The Resurrection For Real?
The Tomb Is Empty-No body present or to be found.
The Family Believed-His family testified that He was the Son of God.
Devout Jews Believed That Jesus Was The Son of God
The Transformation Of The Disciples
Corroborating Witness'-He appeared to 500 people.
...this Had Not Been Done in A Corner-Acts 4:26
Reflect:
1) What does Easter mean to you?
2)Have you struggled with the idea of the Resurrection?
3)What helps you to believe that the resurrection is real?
4)How will you live your life differently knowing the resurrection is real?
Do:
Understanding the resurrection better, are there areas of your life you are ready for God to help you with?
Consider:
...to assume that science has shown the resurrection to be impossible an intellectual cop-out. Science shows no such thing. - Dr Ian Hutchinson MIT
