The Resurrection: Are You Buying It? (22 of 31)
Series: The Gospel of John
Tim Badal
John 15:1-17
We’ve been in a series titled simply ‘‘The Gospel of John.’’ It’s the story of the life, ministry, and miracles of Jesus, told by His best friend here on earth, the Apostle John. We come to John 15 and are going to look at this passage in a moment. My hope and prayer through this series has been that you will meet Jesus and learn from Jesus, so that whether this is your first time or thousandth time in church, you will believe and trust in Jesus as the risen Savior and Lord.
First, let’s revisit the events of what we call Holy Week. Three days ago, on Friday, a Man was deserted by His friends. Friday a Man was arrested. Friday He was taken and charged for crimes He did not commit. Friday He experienced mocking and slander. Friday He was whipped, abused and scorned. His enemies circled around Him. On Friday, they reserved for Him the most gruesome and horrific way to die, death by crucifixion. After being beaten within an inch of His life, He was forced to carry a wooden cross up a hill to a place called Golgotha, where He, along with two criminals, was hung on a cross putting nails through His hands and feet. As He hung there in great agony and pain, He prayed, ‘‘Father, forgive them.’’ He then said, ‘‘It is finished’’ and gave up His Spirit. That brings us to Friday afternoon. Then the rest of Friday, all day Saturday and into Sunday morning, He laid in a tomb, behind a stone. At some point early Sunday morning, the Gospel writers tell us that something happened. This Jesus, Who had been deserted, arrested and charged with crimes He did not commit, Who had been mocked, abused and beaten, Who had been hung on a cross and Who gave up His Spirit and Who was buried in a tomb-early Sunday morning, this Jesus walked out of that tomb. The next question I’m going to ask may surprise you. Wherever you are, whether on campus here or online, here’s what I want to ...
