The Gospel from the Garden

This morning .. we are leaving Golgotha .. the place of suffering where our Savior was crucified ... to head to a garden ... the place of sorrow where our Savior was buried.

Now this garden tomb was no ordinary graveyard because Jesus was there! Even in His death ... Jesus turned an ordinary graveyard into a place of joy and celebration!

Now when you come to chapter 19.38 ... you find the gospel (good news) from the garden!

Now .. the Apostle Paul summarized the Gospel from the Garden in 1 Corinthians 15.3-4, "For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins (past tense) according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried (past tense), and that He rose again the third day (present tense: "He arose again the third day and continue to be risen") according to the Scriptures,"

I want to show you how what happened 2000 years ago in a garden tomb can forever change your life! I want to show you how what happened 2000 years ago in a garden tomb can forever give you joy and peace ...
