March 31, 2024 - HE IS RISEN! It's All True!

Christianity rises or falls on the Resurrection

"And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith." - 1 Corinthians 15:14

If Jesus did not rise from the dead . . . . . . then we are still in our sins
If Jesus did not rise from the dead . . . . . . He was not the Messiah, our Savior
If Jesus did not rise from the dead . . . . . . He would be a phony
If Jesus did not rise from the dead . . . . . . this would be the greatest hoax in history
If Jesus did not rise from the dead . . . . . . He would indeed be a liar and a lunatic
JESUS DID RISE FROM THE DEAD – HE IS LORD!!

For all the doubters, there is observable evidence:
- THE TOMB WAS EMPTY!

How could frightened, terrified disciples steal the body?
- John 20: 19

What about grave robbers?
- No self-respecting grave robber would take the
time to fold the handkerchief around Jesus’ head or challenge a Roman guard

What about the eyewitness testimony?
- Too many people saw the Resurrected Jesus for it to be a farce

What about doubting Thomas?
- Thomas believed when he saw Jesus - John 20: 27-29

What about the changed lives of the disciples?
- They went from running away from the battle, to running to the battle
- All died violently, or were tortured
- None recanted under pressure – people will not die for a lie!

What about your life? How has Jesus changed you?
- Go ask anyone whom Jesus touched, their lives have been CHANGED!!

We can view Resurrection Sunday as when a day of infamy became a day of VICTORY!

A day when Satan (the despicable one), the deceiver’s head was crushed – Genesis 3: 15

Christ’s Resurrection assures our resurrection! John 14: 19

This Resurrection Sunday, may all believers rejoice!

“HE IS RISEN!”

“HE IS RISEN INDEED!!”

WHAT A DIFFERENCE HE MADE IN MY LIFE!

Jesus Made All The Difference
