The Resurrection of Jesus - so What?
by Ernest Easley
Now on this Easter Sunday morning … take your Bible and turn with me to Matthew 28. It amazes me today how much confusion there is when it comes to Easter … and we are partly to blame! There was an extremely enthusiastic teacher of four year olds who one Sunday asked her class, ''Does anybody know what today is?'' A little girl held up her hand and said, ''Yes, today is Palm Sunday.'' The teacher said, ''That's fantastic. That's wonderful. Now does anyone know what next Sunday is?'' The same little girl raised her hand. She said, ''Yes, next Sunday is Easter Sunday.'' Once again the teacher said, ''That's...
The Impact of Jesus Resurrection
by Tony Nester
Last Sunday I explained that the reason I believe in the resurrection of Jesus is because I have had an experience similar to the experience Mary Magdalene had on that first Easter morning. Just as she recognized Jesus when he called her my name, so I have recognized the voice of Jesus calling me by name. But while that is my primary reason for believing in the Living Christ, it is not my only reason. There is a second reason for my belief in the Risen Christ and that is what I want to share with you this morning. This second reason has to do with the change that came over Jesus followers. When Jesus died on that Friday...
Resurrection Proof: Jesus Is Lord
by Dick Onarecker
Easter Morning must feel similar to how Moses felt on the Mountain of God; Mt. Horeb. He saw a bush burning, but the bush was never consumed. The angel of the Lord appeared to Moses there and told Moses, ''...put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.'' When you and I celebrate the resurrection of our Savior we are on Holy Ground! Easter is a sacred celebration of the power of Christ. Why chills should run over your body just to think of this power. Thrills should burst from your soul as you realize what was done for you. This power of Jesus, available to shape...
The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ
by Jesse Hendley
Let us draw our attention to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and His reappearance to His very own. Please turn in your Bibles to Matthew 28:1, where we read, "in the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre." Now this is Sunday morning and there is a great change of dispensations here. This is a new beginning. Jesus died on Friday and rose again from the dead on Sunday morning. He doesn't call attention to the Sabbath. The Sabbath was Saturday. It is a grave mistake in Bible study and Bible teaching to call...
The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus
by Charles H. Spurgeon
From long sickness my mind is scarcely equal to the work before me. Certainly, if I had ever sought after brilliance of thought or language, I would have failed today, for I am almost at the lowest stage of incapacity. I have only been comforted in the thought of preaching to you this morning by the reflection that it is the doctrine itself which God blesses, and not the way in which it may be spoken; for if God had made the power to depend upon the speaker and his style, He would have chosen that the Resurrection, grandest of all truths, should have been proclaimed by angels rather than by men. Yet He set aside the...
Thinking about Resurrection of Jesus
by Rex Yancey
A group of four year olds were gathered in a Sunday school class in Chattanooga. The enthusiastic teacher said, "Does anyone know what today is?" A little girl held up her finger and said, "Today is Easter Sunday." The teacher said, "That's fantastic." "Now, does anyone know what makes this day special?" The same little girl responded and said, "Today is Easter because Jesus rose from the grave" and before the teacher could congratulate her, she kept on talking and said, "But if he sees his shadow...he has to go back in for seven weeks!" There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the resurrection of...
Gospel: The Resurrection
by Michael White
Now prior to reading this passage I'd like to note that Acts 13:26-39 is part of Paul's first recorded sermon. Obviously this was not his first ever sermon. He had been a Jewish rabbi and professor at the university of Jerusalem- and since becoming a Christian had likely preached many sermons before. But doctor Luke, who wrote the book of Acts through the inspiration of the holy spirit- Chose to include this sermon as an example of his preaching- and the very content of the Gospel. and the last few weeks we have been describing the Gospel. It's a simple message- that those who have faith in the substitutionary death...
Jesus Is the Resurrection and the Life (4 of 8)
by Stan Coffey
Jesus in the gospel of John seven times used the words ‘‘I Am’’ to define who He was and to define what He came to do. We have looked at some of these before where Jesus said ‘‘I am the bread of life’’ and when Jesus said, ‘‘I am the good shepherd who grivet His life for His sheep’’. Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life and the context of this passage is very important because it is the last miracle Jesus performed before going to the cross. It was the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. And ladies and gentlemen if you have lost a loved one, if you have ever gone to a graveyard and you had to lower the body of...
Jesus and His Resurrection (12 of 13)
by Donald Cantrell
A family was watching a movie of the life of Jesus on television. Their six-year-old daughter was deeply moved as the film realistically portrayed Jesus' crucifixion and death. Tears ran down the little girl's face as they took Him from the cross and laid Him in a borrowed tomb. She watched as a guard was set. Suddenly, a big smile broke on her face. She bounced up on the arm of the chair and said with great anticipation, ''Now comes the good part.'' Yes, indeed, this is the good part. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything! The body of Buddha was cremated and relics were placed in monuments and people visit them...
The Resurrection (7 of 7)
by Bob Ingle
The Resurrection of Jesus is what separates every other major religion from Christianity. Buddha died and is dead. Muhammad died and is dead. Gandhi died and is dead. Joseph Smith died and is dead. Jesus died, but He rose from the dead, and is alive forevermore. This is the crown jewel of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Back in 1992, a letter came from the Health and Human Services department to a resident of Greenville County in South Carolina. It read: ''Your food stamps will be stopped at the end of March, because we received notice that you passed away. May God you bless you. You may reapply if...
Results Of The Resurrection
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST's resurrection from the dead is the pivotal point around which many major truths revolve. It is a guarantee given by God the Father that He approved the work of the Son and loves us enough to allow us access to Himself through Christ. So much truth is compactly associated with Christ's resurrection that it is little wonder our minds get challenged considering it. Some confusion is associated with it. In trying to understand some of the deep mysteries of the resurrection it is expedient to deal with one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. Art Linkletter's story of the little child asked the meaning of...
Prelude to the Resurrection
by Robert Dawson
One dad shares this story about an aquarium he bought for his two-year old daughter. We went to the pet store to pick out four fish for the tank. One fish died not long after setting up the tank, thankfully, while little Sara was at her grandparent's house. The mother gave the fish a proper burial at sea and did not tell my daughter about it. A few weeks after the first fishy funeral little Sara found one of her other fish dead. The fish was caught in one of the fake plastic bushes. She wanted to tell daddy so my wife called me at the office. In her two-year-old way, she told me that her fish had died and she found it in the bushes. She said...
There Is More - The Resurrection
by Jerry Watts
It was on Feb. 27, 1991, at the height of Desert Storm, that Ruth Dillow received a very sad message from the Pentagon. It stated that her son, Clayton Carpenter, Private 1st Class, had stepped on a mine in Kuwait and was dead. Ruth Dillow later wrote, ''I can't begin to describe my grief and shock. It was almost more than I could bear. For 3 days I wept. For 3 days I expressed anger and loss. For 3 days people tried to comfort me, to no avail because the loss was too great.'' But 3 days after she received that message, the telephone rang. The voice on the other end said, ''Mom, it's me. I'm alive.'' Ruth Dillow said, ''I couldn't...
Attaining the Resurrection
by Christopher Harbin
Today is resurrection Sunday. We celebrate that Jesus rose from the grave many centuries ago. We celebrate and remember the excitement, fear, uncertainty, confusion, and joy of the disciples confronted with the amazing news of Jesus' victory over death. We pause to consider how the church was transformed by the events of so many years past. Perhaps what we often fail to consider, however, is the effect Jesus' resurrection has and can have upon our own lives, not simply in eternity, but in our earthly living. What difference does the resurrection make, and what does it mean when Paul say he was striving to attain...
The Gospel of the Resurrection
by William Wyne
Was this Jesus big enough to handle the whole wide world? Was this Jesus greater than the greatest hero of that era? They wanted to know could Jesus conqueror the world's greatest enemies? Could this Jesus be defeated? And the teacher was so convincing, and so affirmative; said that this Jesus who is God can not be defeated! When the invitation was given for discipleship, one of the young girls in the class accepted Christ and came forward. As she was riding home, she began to ask her mother questions, such as, ''Mom, Jesus is such a big God isn't He? Mom said yes, He certainly is! The little girl said, He is bigger...
The Resurrection: Fable or Fact?
by Stan Coffey
I believe that Easter is the greatest time of the year for believers. Christmas is a joyous time when we celebrate the birth of Christ, but for me Easter is even more meaningful to those who believe upon Christ. There is always something special about Easter Sunday and I always have such a joy in my heart on Easter as I come to bring a message of hope, inspiration, and happiness. Praise God for Easter, Amen? Amen!! I love that old hymn that says, ''He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart, you ask me how I know...
What Happened in the Tomb?
by Ernest Easley
Now take God's word and turn with me to Matthew 28 where we find Matthew's account of what happened that first Easter Sunday. We're going to begin reading in verse 1 but let me jump the gun and take you to straight to verse 6 where we find 8 words declared by an angel that has forever changed the world. Here they are: ''He is not here; for He is risen!'' There is no greater truth than the resurrection truth of our savior: the Lord Jesus Christ! ''He is not here, for He is risen!'' There is no truth loved more by the people of God than the resurrection of Jesus for without the resurrection we have no hope, no heaven, no...
This Day Changes Everything
by Collin Wimberly
History records several days that literally changed the course of history. In the history of our own county, there are several historical events, days that shook the world. April 19 1775, 70 Massachusetts Militiamen stand face to face on Lexington Green with the British Advance Guard. An unordered shot rang out, and the American Revolutionary war was under way. That shot has been called ''The shot heard round the world''. That was a day that changed the world. Dec. 7, 1941 Japanese bombed Pearl harbor, Wake Island, Guam, Malaya, Thailand, Shanghai, and Midway. Forcing The US to enter the second world...
The Resurrection of Christ
by Chris Walls
The resurrection of Christ is what I would consider one of the most important doctrines in the Christian life. There are so many things that hinge on a proper view of the resurrection in the life of the Christian. If there is no resurrection of Christ then we just have another world religion. There are many things that separate Christianity from other world religions. But, the physical resurrection of Christ is one of the biggest things that separate us from other religions. The resurrection makes Christianity what it is! "All evidence of the New Testament goes to show that the burden of the good news or gospel...
It's Not Over: An Easter Message of Hope
by Jeff Lynn
An Easter Message of Hope - It's no secret that today we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Our intent today is not to try to prove it to you, because by virtue of you being here today, you have some sense of the importance of this day. This is a high and holy day for Christ-followers because the apostle Paul said that if Jesus wasn't raised from the dead and brought to life, then we are still in our sin and the biggest fools of all in falling for a story like that. Our intent this morning is not only to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, but to show some of the responses to the events surrounding his...
