Seen (41 of 53)
Series: Straight Up Truth for a Messed-Up Church
Mike Stone
1 Corinthians 15:5-8
For the last few weeks we have been studying what Paul called a message of utmost importance. That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. We've had a little miniseries on the truth that Jesus was DEAD, BURIED, RAISED, and SEEN.
For the last few weeks we've been highly doctrinal.
Today, I want to be intensely practical and personal.
The same Jesus who showed up and spoke to them is able to show up and speak to you today as well. I want you to see Him today; not with the eyes in your head but ''the eyes of your heart.'' Not with physical eyes but with spiritual eyes as we see Him on the pages of Holy Scripture. And I pray you'll see Him ALIVE AND WELL in your own life today.
This list of post-resurrection appearances in chapter 15 is NOT an exhaustive list. Paul doesn't mention everyone. But I want to preach about the ones he DOES name AND some of the ones that are REFERENCED by implication in this text.
And as He shows up in their lives I want you to see He can show up in your life today too. Jesus is still in the ''showing up'' business and if you SEE HIM, you will be changed.

Matthew 14 (feeding 5,000) - He felt compassion for the crowd
Matthew 15 (feeding of 4,000) - He felt compassion for the crowd because they were hungry and He worried they would faint on the way home
Matthew 18 (in a parable) Jesus compared Himself to the ''Lord of a slave'' who ''had compassion and forgave the slave's debt.''
Matthew 20 - Going into Jericho He heard two blind men calling out for sight. Matthew said He was ''moved with compassion.''
Mark 1 - A leper said ''If You are willing You c ...
