Easter
says you can put Truth in the grave but it won’t stay there! “But God raised
Him from the dead, freeing Him from the agony of death, because it was
impossible for death to keep its hold on Him.” -Acts 2:24
Eight Truths about the
Resurrection:
1. Jesus’ grave was
empty. No one doubts this!
2. Women discovered the
empty tomb. - There were eyewitnesses!
3. The site of Jesus’
tomb was known. - It was public knowledge!
4. Nobody ever claimed
the tomb still contained Jesus’ body.
- Conspiracy theories
are made up!
5. The resurrection was
the church’s proclamation from the beginning. - Changed lives are proof!
(Cowards become bold evangelists)
6. The appearances of
Jesus. - Over 500 people saw Him!
7. Skeptics were
converted. - Thomas and Jesus’ brothers just to name a few.
8. The miraculous
emergence of the church. - The first 50 years of the church saw
unprecedented growth!
May we take the Truth of
the Resurrection and apply them to our lives. Amen?
