The Resurrection of Jesus

 

 

Introduction

Every time Easter comes we are reminded about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For some, this is still an awesome event in history that changes everything in their lives. But for others, perhaps many others, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is no longer that interesting or relevant. They would rather look for eggs (or for other things) than look into an empty tomb where the angel declares, “He has risen!” If not for the pandemic, many would probably be on the beach or in some faraway location to have fun and relax.

Recapturing the Good News of Easter Sunday! (1 Corinthians 15:1-34, 58)

  1. Some Christians may no longer believe in the resurrection of the dead. (v.12)

  2. This unbelief may be revealed in our practices and lifestyle. (vv.29-32)

  3. This is not a minor issue. (vv.33-34)

  4. This is tantamount to denying the resurrection of Christ. (vv.13, 16)

  5. To deny the resurrection of Christ is to reject the Gospel. (vv.1-2, 11)

  6. Central to the Gospel is the resurrection of Christ. (vv.3-7)

  7. Apart from the resurrection of Christ, there is no Good News! (vv.14-15, 17-19)

  8. But because Christ rose from the dead, we can hope for the resurrection from the dead! (vv.20-28)

  9. The implication of this should be totally life-changing! (v.58)

Conclusion

  1. The RESURRECTION of JESUS CHRIST changes EVERYTHING!
