The Resurrection

							     The Resurrection
• Celebrated annually by the religions of men
• Observed weekly by Christians I Cor. 11:26
• Daily impact on lives          Rom. 8:11-12
• The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ
•    most basic teaching of the Gospel
•    that which gives it power
•    validation of the person and message
• 1 Cor 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare
  unto you the gospel which I preached unto
  you, which also ye have received, and wherein
  ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye
  keep in memory what I preached unto you,
  unless ye have believed in vain.
  For I delivered unto you first of all that which
  I also received, how 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:
    By His Resurrection
• Declared to be the Son of God Rom. 1:4
• Verified the truth of His message
  including judgment Acts 17:31
•   Assures our resurrection II Cor. 4:14
•   Evil and good Jn. 5:29, Acts 24:15
•   Gives us hope               1 Pet. 1:3
•   Gives us justification Rom. 4:23-25
    Our Final Resurrection
• Basics (Heb 6:1-2) Therefore leaving the
  principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on
  unto perfection; not laying again the foundation
  of repentance from dead works, and of faith
  toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of
  laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the
  dead, and of eternal judgment.
• Sadducees denied the resurrection Acts 23:8
• Some taught it was already over II Tim. 2:18
    I Corinthians 15:12-23
• Our resurrection is tied to Jesus’ 12-13
• If no resurrection then:
•    Our preaching is vain 14
•    Your faith is vain 14
•    We are false witnesses 15
•    Your in your sins still 16
•    The dead perished in their sins 17
•    We are miserable 18
  Our First Resurrection
• Rom 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were
  the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from
  the heart that form of doctrine which was
  delivered you.
• Form: death, burial, and resurrection
• Gal. 2:20 crucified yet living (resurrection)
• Col. 2:12 burial when we die to sin
• Rom 6:3-5
• Know ye not, that so many of us as were
  baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
  into his death? Therefore we are buried with
  him by baptism into death: that like as
  Christ was raised up from the dead by the
  glory of the Father, even so we also should
  walk in newness of life.
  For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection:
• 1 Peter 3:20-21
• Which sometime were disobedient, when
  once the longsuffering of God waited in the
  days of Noah, while the ark was a
  preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls
  were saved by water.
  The like figure whereunto even baptism
  doth also now save us (not the putting away
  of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a
  good conscience toward God,) by the
  resurrection of Jesus Christ:
