Wednesday Morning devotion



Praise God. If you notice that, even in Florida towards to God and other parts of the United States, another part of the world glory to God, men have been paid to go to the Doctor and remove their their genital areas and and to do transgender saying that they

Are female when they know in themselves that they are male. And so it is an attack upon the men and so we have to constantly praying for our men. The prisons are packed up with men. There is a shadow call it to God over the male figure, Pharaoh.

He was after us going to God, Herod is after us, never cut. Lisa is after us. and so much of the leaders attack upon the men. And so when a man rise up as a preacher or a servant of God or give them self to the Lord, to

Walk with Him in holiness and righteousness it is for one to encourage such a brother and to build him up in the most. Holy faith until to encourage them. Not to tear them though. Are prone to mistakes. We are prone. And we have vulnerable. Beings and based and sight. You

Know, because of how we have been wired. but that does not give us the right to activate to accom to act upon the lines of weakness. because I’m, we were not designed to be weak as this the woman of God said, Jelly back. We were not called to be jelly

Back. We are called to be the weights that the lines of the family forever to God. this trend. And, and this pasta chin would up through, you know, Emoji said, they can’t stand because they’re backs are need men with bones. who can face up to the challenges that life

Throws at us. And and it is sad to say that men are back sliding like crazy because of the pleasures of this world. I’m so over prayers for the men through the course of this week and forever. Is to have us being strengthened in the vineyard that God has placed us

To produce and to create a platform for our sisters. But today, Lord of mercy, the women are impacting the kingdom. They are so plenty. And, and it’s sad to say that most of the men are wasting their time, finding them on the streets, go over to God making another spliff

Asking for another dollar. father, walk one give me something. No you don’t find a woman on the streets doing those things. You always even at the bus stop, the sisters is with a book. reading at the bus, Stop the men building another split. If you go to a

Bus stop, whether in London Canada, America. Are we ever You go? Jamaica, You always notice that you don’t find a woman standing at the bus. Stop waiting on the bus smoking. What that you see five men in a group with us. Please behind their ears, another one

Building one, at the side of the mold, punching up, BIG fingers, ring in the mouth, knocking off this cursing. Bad words Pants. Don’t be a bottom shoes without lace. Hook up for James Raggedy here. Don’t see the barber in months and and shabby faiths. and, and yet these men want the

Best woman in society. Can’t work. We have to present ourselves to the public and and the sisters are very, I’m tactic. And I know what they want as to to that a woman would make a decision faster in accepting the Lord. Don’t waste no time and said men already

Yet. Go with a God, they know exactly what they want. Go over to God. And and the man would say, Oh my boss, you know, say I mean already it’s still in a coming up some hensitive. You can’t tie them up as long as you live. If you try to put

Things in place and your own, you are all together failing because you can’t do it on your own. We have to do it in accordance to God’s plan for our lives. And so, and this platform today, I’m sending us trunk call to our man, Men, There is a call Adam. Come out

Of your hiding. God, this calling you. There is a work in the vineyard for you to do. Go. It’s a God. I’m so today I want to drag your focus to what takes that is oftentimes being read clover to God. And I want to just your

Attention to the Psalms once again, as we look on Psalms 91, a text that we always been reading. Glory to God. And when we fall in love with and always choose to be apart of this, psalms, because of the message that it conveyed global to God. I love this, psalms

Dearly and one that I recite especially on the point of attack when you need God’s intervention. corporate a God Almighty. and so Psalms 91 my brothers and sisters. He that dwelled in the secret place of the Most High God Hallelujah. Shall abide under the shadow of

The Almighty. I will say of the Lord. he is my refuge and my fortress. My God in him. Will I trust glory to God? I want to look today and be assurance of God’s protection, the assurance of God’s protection. We are looking at these modes. The protection of

God, the comfort of God, and the cure of God, when you look through the Psalms there is so much to draw from. on the side of holiness. The psalmist is calling us to pursue holy lifestyle. Holiness is understood and learned by going directly to the Source. We’re holiness

Comes from the Holy One of Israel. Search the Scriptures to learn the truth of God. Right here. He wants us to understand that we must search the Scriptures to the pathway of holiness in God, and to spend time worshiping God. So to it, that we can be

Transformed by the holiness of the Almighty, God, and the Bible is calling us. Also to ask the Holy Spirit. To enable us to walk in the holiness of God. people of God, as you look at the Scriptures here. You are seen where the psalmist is also calling us to the place to get

To know the Holy One of Israel and to give worship to Him in the beauty of holiness. As you do this experience, develop personal holiness. And to remember that He is holy and is calling us to be holy. So He’s saying them. Here He dwelling if you notice that David as

Many others say, then that this is the section of the Bible and we call it. What? What they look to it Then, as I think it’s book book, four. Praise God. The fourth section because the Bible the 150 Psalms have been divided into five different sections. And

This is the fourth section of the division of the Psalms. the poetic book Psalm 90 to 106 is seen as they the fourth section of the five division of the Psalms. And, and as you look at this Fort division, it is calling us too a place. A time is short. Hallelujah. It

Is well with you and it must be well. So there is a protection. I wonder if the people of God understand how how God goal to all the way to the utmost to make sure that he secure a protection for his people. I always admire how God is

Precise and oh God is direct and oh God is always standing by no matter what and if the believer even the unbelievers are protected by God’s mercy and we cannot to understand the protective care of God, the presence of God, the assurance of His protection that He

Exhibits. God is saying to us, then I give my angels charge over you. and at the same time, we admire that angels have been employed to watch over my life. but on the other hand, Jesus gives the disciples. At the post resurrected command, which we call the Great Commission in

Matthew’s Gospel Chapter 28 that a no. I am with you. I will be with you always even to the ends of the earth. That’s number two, protection. number three protection. God said, nothing by any means, will pluck you out of my hands. Hallelujah. And so, we recognize that God Himself is

Protecting loss and Jesus. give us His word of His protection and then God is still on the other hand employing angels to watch over us and a daily basis. So we are comprehensively protected and my people I want you to understand that as the right to said in I am blessed in

My going old. I mean, my coming in and the other hand is saying this steps of a rightful. Man are all that by the Lord, the devil can’t miss with you because you are Corporate by the blood you are protected by God. you are accompanied by Jesus. And

Angels have been employed to carry us in their arms or I feel like shouting Allelujah. if the devil ever put his hand on any one of you today, you have enough power inside of you to put a bullet to his head. And destroy his work. Totally

People of God, the time has come when we have to recognize that the protective care of God is immeasurably. It is beyond the norm. It is not just like somebody say, I will follow you. When we were young, we were afraid of the dark. Until now, some people are afraid of

The dark. So if you are going outside, Hallelujah they would say come with me. Follow me. Accompany me and in the olden days we used to be afraid of what is called Dopey now. So your parents would say, child if you’re throwing anything outside, say move before your

Choice. Now, if they never ever stuck, if I feel like I want Dash something, I’ve take it. and does it? And it don’t be King them, bad. Tell them to come stand up my door because I’m showing something out there and You, excuse me. Come on, man, of God.

But if I don’t be man, think him him have any any rights to my door when angels watching over me. No sir. Tell that duppy to stand a dash. Hot water honey. A dash cold water >> Enid Moncrieffe: Burning >> Gregory Mitchell: It must be

People of God. Don’t let no me put a fear on you that you you have right to ask demon to excuse. No man. That’s the blood from the left to the right, to the east, to the west, to the south because he gels are protecting. you, you are

Covered by the blood of Jesus. You are watched over every. even when I am asleep, go into God, there is a watch over me. There is a covering for me. There is a protection over me. I know which doctor no spirits from the under, Not easy. No

Schism. No satanist. No no I don’t trust. Demonics forces. No weapon. Oh Lord, I must farm against you shall prosper. People of God called. the writer is sent to us today. That we need to know that God is protecting you. and wherever you go, you are covered your

Guided. You are shield. No problem. You have a right to say he that toilet in the secret place have the Most High God shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty or call it. There is a secret place that we must abide and it is in the

Pavilion of God all the right I said in Psalms 27 by 24 He that the Lord is my light and and His my salvation boom. Shall I fear. When the Lord is this trend of my life, a whom shall I be afraid? David was automatically speaking prophetically into the

Time when Jesus would have been met in the garden of gets enemy. Go to God. if you notice, then there is a reflection of the get semi saga to Psalm 24 that when when the wicked and the enemies even his toes. Upon him to heat up his flesh and they hacks. Him Are

You The Christ and Judith kissed him? Go to God to identify him among our code of God. His is forever’s and the soldier said, Are you the Christ? And the open is more than said, Yes, I am. The Bible said this tumbled up his word called this because of the

Power that ensues from his mouth. My God, Almighty People of God, what you’re carrying is power, what you’re carrying is fire? What you’re carrying can cause the enemy to stumble, when the weakest sands, get down to pray. one word from your mouth and said, Lord have mercy demon back up because of

What comes from your mouth. It’s like a sharp short man called it to God. That’s why when things are matters and and situations and circumstances, no, it’s back to school and so you, we are we are all parents. We sometimes the pressure turn up. leave me Frank with me.

Sometime the pressure tough time and go and get hard and it gets tough and you are still wondering. I know you’re okay this morning. and your brain that God will just show up because I am praying the same prior to. So guess what? You’re not alone in this one? A

Preacher but I have challenges. I am a preacher of the Gospel but yet, they’re tough times that confront me. I am a preacher but yet there are times when they are lacking financially there. You have have transportation issues. you are financially issues. you have marital issues. you have

Health issues yet, you’re a servant of God, that doesn’t mean that you not gonna have physical challenges and And you remember that >> renado rose: someone, oh, >> Gregory Mitchell: Dwelling. And you can testify that God is still your refuge and your fortress, your God, my God in him.

Will I trust his true shall be my shield and my butler? Call it a god. Hallelujah. He’s forever lasting to everlasting. Let’s let’s look on this. my friend. Hallelujah. The centers and the beauty this and centers and the protection of God here. Not Hallelujah. to the Lamb of God. They are mighty, God,

Powerful God when it appears as El Shaddai or call it a card, the name Almighty, which means Sadie are Shaddai, but we call it here with me all powerful. God. Hallelujah. But every boy, man, mightier than the mightier when it happened as a shadow. It is God Almighty.

The name occurs about 50 times. In the Old Testament. It was a name by which God was known to the patriarchs in Genesis chapter 17 and verse 1. And in in Exodus chapter 6, and verse number three, some scholars. then they trace Hallelujah. The origin of the verb shattered,

Which means mighty And come and conquerable go into God. you see the God that you’re serving. nobody can conquer him, nobody can go around him. Even when people in church, which I use them. brain and pastor and I try to undermine the righteousness of Christianity to God then. Yeah.

Undermine God, they can’t go wrong. God. They can’t overthrow God. See it. And if you think you can overthrow God hacks, Lucifer, I ask that devil before you try because he tried it that one point and he gets a high and play boot hook of heaven. Jesus Christ. Jesus

Said I be healed the devil coming down as of like mean oh God be heavens. And and war be to the inhabitants of the land because Satan have gone about like a roaring. Lion seeking who me may be forever. People of God. We are Word, we are preserved. We are protected.

We are sealed. We are guided by the hand of God. by the angels of God. And you have a right to say no weapon found against me. shall never prosper. You have a right to testify of the goodness of God. Hallelujah. So trace the origin shattered, which means mighty and

Conquerable Other relates it origin. Praise God too. The idea the Acadian Word. glory to God for mountain, the Acadian word for mountain cored to God. Indicating God’s greatness indicate in the strength of God or He’s everlasting nature Corby to God, another explanation in that Sadie or Shaddai, El Shaddai, anytime you

See the el? it is telling you then that he is and a plural term if you understand the Greek terminology. It’s a plural. I’m terminology. They call it up. The genetic Chloe to God because God is a spirit and be showing you the function of the God,

The the Eli yawn, the El Gibbi. God. It’s speaking on the plural term coret of God. And so, we understand here that the next terminology make mention of Shaddai. No, it’s a god means strength, Hallelujah. in the kids in the greatness of the Almighty. God. who is like unto him, who can

Do, who can Robin? You know what I love with God. Even when my physical man will note and get weary and get tired and get Josie, and get frustrated and feel like a hunger, this one and I can’t bother. I can get strength from God. Hallelujah. because God never grow weak. He

Never get shot tired. He never sleep. He never slumber. David said, The son shall not smite be my day. Lord moon by night. He shall preserve me. He shall preserve thy. Soul. People of God. I love God with everything. No, the right is saying then that is strength.

And the protection that he exhibit, and the nature of God that he is that there is a compound of the particular shame, which means the shape, which is our witch are who the God that you are dealing with the God that you’re talking about. The who, how Corey the

Card? who shall ascend in the hills of the Lord. our who shall stand in his holy place? He who have a clean hand and a pure heart, call it to God. I wish I have some, He who have not lifted up his soul and to vanity now soon the seat fully

He shall receive the blessed blessings of the Lord and the righteousness from the God of Jacob. Praise God. >> renado rose: Blessed in Jesus. >> Gregory Mitchell: Hallelujah, we need to know and Christ. the solid rock with hand. You must know >> renado rose: This, I know.

He is Risen: John the Beloved’s Witness of the Resurrection



[MUSIC PLAYING] About the year A.D. 30, outside the walls of Jerusalem, an extraordinary man named Jesus of Nazareth was cruelly executed along with two thieves. It was an event that would change the world, and very few understood. If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. My name is John. And indeed, it could be well said of this man Jesus, He did nothing amiss.

I was with Him for the last years of His life. I watched Him give sight to the blind, heal the sick and the lame. I was a witness as He raised the dead back to life. [SPEAKING ARAMAIC] Talitha cumi. [WOMAN CRYING] Arise. And yet He was rejected by those who

Should have rejoiced at His coming. What think ye? He is guilty of death. [ALL SPEAKING] Death! As I and my fellow disciples followed Him through the cities and hills of Judea, we came to know for ourselves a miraculous truth that the Apostle Peter expressed for us all:

Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. The Christ, the Anointed One, had the power and authority to forgive mankind of their sins. Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Arise.

In our possession, we had the writings of ancient prophets who prophesied about this Messiah, the Son of God, but we did not fully comprehend. For the last week of His life, I was an eyewitness. As the prophet Zechariah foretold centuries before, many welcomed His return to Jerusalem as the Messiah, their King.

As we dined with Him on His last night, He tried to warn and prepare us for His impending death. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends. Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God shall come. As we left this upper room, Jesus was greatly troubled, yet He spoke to us words of comfort.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Still, we did not understand what lay ahead. All ye shall be offended because of me this night:

For it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Peter, James, and I followed Him further into the garden. My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here, and watch with me. Abba, Father,

all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Indeed, our spirits were willing, but our flesh was weak, for we were heavy with sleep. Sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

We did not comprehend that the Son of God, who we saw had the power to forgive sins, was now offering Himself as payment for the misdeeds of all mankind. Unaware, we slept on. He was in great agony. “He prayed more earnestly: and his sweat

Was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Whom seek ye? Jesus of Nazareth. One of our own betrayed our Lord to the rulers of the Jews. [KISSES CHEEK] Master. Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people.

I have examined him before you, and find no fault with this man touching those things whereof you accuse him. I have sent him to Herod. He has found that nothing worthy of death has been done. I will therefore chastise him, and release him. [CROWD MURMURING]

According to your custom at this time of year, one prisoner shall be released. Barabbas. Free Barabbas. [CROWD CHEERING] What shall I do then with Jesus who is called the Christ? Crucify him. [CROWD CHANTING] Crucify him! No! Please, spare my son! [CROWD CHANTING]

I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. [WOMEN CRYING] [HAMMER POUNDING] Even in His intense suffering, as He paid the final price for us all, His thoughts were on others. His final request of me was to care for His beloved mother.

Behold thy mother! [THUNDER RUMBLING] Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. It is finished. [THUNDER RUMBLING] The darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. This is the promise that He had promised us, even eternal life. Mary. Rabboni.

For we beheld His glory. Because of Him, we all shall live again, for He is risen.

Why is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ important? | What does the Resurrection Mean?



Today’s Question is: “Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important?” In this video I’ll answer that question from a biblical perspective. Afterwards, I’ll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end. The resurrection of Jesus is important for several reasons. First, the resurrection witnesses to the immense power of God Himself.

To believe in the resurrection is to believe in God. If God exists, and if He created the universe and has power over it, then He has power to raise the dead. If He does not have such power, He is not worthy of our faith and worship.

Only He who created life can resurrect it after death, only He can reverse the hideousness that is death itself, and only He can remove the sting and gain the victory over the grave. In resurrecting Jesus from the grave, God reminds us of His absolute sovereignty over life and death.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is also important because it validates who Jesus claimed to be, namely, the Son of God and Messiah. According to Jesus, His resurrection was the “sign from heaven” that authenticated His ministry, Matthew 16:1–4, and the proof that He had authority over even the temple in Jerusalem (John 2:18–22).

The resurrection of Jesus Christ, attested to by hundreds of eyewitnesses, provides irrefutable proof that He is the Savior of the world. Another reason the resurrection of Jesus Christ is important is that it proves His sinless character and divine nature. The Scriptures said God’s “Holy One” would never see corruption in Psalm 16:10,

And Jesus never saw corruption, even after He died. It was on the basis of the resurrection of Christ that Paul preached, “Through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin” Acts 13:38–39.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only the supreme validation of His deity; it also validates the Old Testament prophecies that foretold of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection. Christ’s resurrection also authenticated His own claims that He would be raised on the third day.

If Jesus Christ is not resurrected, then we have no hope that we will be, either. In fact, apart from Christ’s resurrection, we have no Savior, no salvation, and no hope of eternal life. As Paul said, our faith would be “useless,” the gospel would be altogether powerless, and our sins would remain unforgiven.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life” in John 11:25, and in that statement claimed to be the source of both. There is no resurrection apart from Christ, no eternal life. Jesus does more than give life; He is life, and that’s why death has no power over Him.

Jesus confers His life on those who trust in Him, so that we can share His triumph over death. We who believe in Jesus Christ will personally experience resurrection because, having the life Jesus gives, we have overcome death. It is impossible for death to win.

Jesus is “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” 1 Corinthians 15:20. In other words, Jesus led the way in life after death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is important as a testimony to the resurrection of human beings, which is a basic tenet of the Christian faith.

Unlike other religions, Christianity possesses a Founder who transcends death and promises that His followers will do the same. Every other religion was founded by men or prophets whose end was the grave. As Christians, we know that God became man, died for our sins, and was resurrected the third day.

The grave could not hold Him. He lives, and He sits today at the right hand of the Father in heaven. The Word of God guarantees the believer’s resurrection at the coming of Jesus Christ for His church at the rapture.

Such assurance results in a great song of triumph as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:55, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”. The importance of the resurrection of Christ has an impact on our service to the Lord now.

Paul ends his discourse on resurrection with these words: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

Because we know we will be resurrected to new life, we can endure persecution and danger for Christ’s sake, just as our Lord did. Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, thousands of Christian martyrs through history have willingly traded their earthly lives for everlasting life and the promise of resurrection.

The resurrection is the triumphant and glorious victory for every believer. Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose the third day according to the Scriptures. And He is coming again! The dead in Christ will be raised up, and those who are alive at His coming will be changed and receive new, glorified bodies.

Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important? It proves who Jesus is. It demonstrates that God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. It shows that God has the power to raise us from the dead. It guarantees that the bodies of those who believe in Christ will not remain dead but

What are the proofs for the resurrection of Jesus?



– The word proofs is a loaded term in philosophy and in many cases people will push back at us for using that in the Christian faith, but the Bible itself, Acts 1:3 says that with many convincing proofs Jesus appeared to his disciples for 40 days after his resurrection.

In fact, the apostles were faced with this accusation that they had actually stolen the body of Jesus. And so as early as the New Testament all the way to this present day there have been attacks on the notion that Jesus was raised from the dead. And through the next almost 2000 years,

If we were to come up to today, there are a series of what we call counter theories to the resurrection. The resurrection of Jesus through the centuries has responded to these counter theories such as, well his body was stolen, or maybe he wasn’t really dead

When he was put in the tomb, and so on, have been responded to powerfully such that I’m convinced today the very best answer is, in fact, rationally, that Jesus was historically raised from the dead. Now some of the actual historical evidences that have been discussed through the centuries

Are that Jesus was really dead. That is to say, there is no question that he just swooned when he was put into the tomb, to Romans knew how to kill you when they crucified you. Two, the fact is that his tomb was empty. The early Christians even lost where the actual tomb is,

We don’t know for sure even where you’re taken as a tourist today is actually where he was buried. Why? Because they didn’t care about it, he was raised from the dead. His enemies would have presented his body were he actually still in the tomb. Three, his disciples believed that they were seeing Jesus

After his resurrection, that is in a post mortem raised state, so much so that they were willing to die for this, this is remarkable. And in fact, they changed, four, their belief system. These early believers were Jewish, and so they began to worship on the first day of the week,

That is Sunday instead of the Sabbath day. They celebrated the Lord’s supper, which is a proclamation of his death, and burial, and resurrection until he comes, and baptism, which was a symbol of buried with him in the likeness of his death and raised in the likeness of his resurrection.

Interestingly enough, the various theories like swoon, or conspiracy, or they lost the body, and so on, only a handful of these are still used today by skeptics and the irony is they fail miserably simply to deal with what now the majority of New Testament scholars, even those

Who are not Christians, agree on those historical facts that I presented. The bottom line is the significance of the resurrection of Jesus is intensely personal. The reason is simply that if he’s not raised from the dead then Christianity is silly, there’s no forgiveness for our sins,

My having lived my life believing that he’s raised from the dead was a waste, I could’ve lived it any other of a number of ways. But if he is raised from the dead, then in fact, the hundreds of millions of people who trusted in him through the centuries

Really do have hope for eternal life. I remember 43 years ago when I was not a Christian, 20 year old pagan, hated Christianity, yet woke up on Easter morning with a bad hangover as a hippy with long hair, God has a sense of humor, it seems, I had been told recently by Christians

That on Easter, that was the day they celebrated Jesus having been raised from the dead. And the fundamental question of life that I was facing, like is there a God and could I be forgiven for the evil that I actually was fully caught up in and was convinced I was guilty of,

Could I be forgiven? I didn’t connect all those dots, but something bothered me that morning, this is the day Jesus rose from the dead. And that’s what makes Christianity so very special, the love of God displayed in the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus for us, has been demonstrated

To be true, and that’s what gives me hope, and it should you, too, if you belong to him. – [Narrator] Thanks for watching. You can submit your questions by email, Twitter, or in the comments section below. And don’t forget to subscribe to find out the answer to next week’s question.

2. The Resurrection of Jesus (The Historical Evidence)



As we said in the introduction the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of Christianity without it all of Christianity is a lie in a false religion but unlike most miracle claims Christians claim there is good historical evidence for the resurrection so what is this evidence and how can we

Use it we already went over the basic underlying philosophy in the introduction and pointed out that we already gave natural theology arguments for God’s existence argued the New Testament documents are reliable and established miracles are not impossible however as we noted in the introduction we will not assume the New Testament

Documents are inspired or even accurate in every detail instead we will only argue from facts that are agreed upon by the majority of New Testament scholars and have good evidence to infer they are true this means even if the rest of the New Testament is a fabrication it will

Not show these facts are false since even many skeptical scholars doubt the historicity of the entire New Testament but at least agree these facts are true so now with this as our underlying foundation we can begin to look at the historical evidence and see if it infers a resurrection first two underlying

Facts about the death of Jesus it is almost unanimously agreed that Jesus died by crucifixion just outside of Jerusalem sceptical scholar John Dominic Crossan says this is as sure as anything historical can ever be sceptical scholar EP Sanders lists this as one of the most indisputable facts about Jesus’s life so

There is no question for historians whether or not Jesus died by crucifixion second it is widely agreed that Jesus was buried in nearby tomb the evidence for this is pretty overwhelming we have multiple attestation from early sources like Paul and mark and Josephus agrees crucified victims were allowed to receive a proper burial

Jewish law demanded that even foreigners and criminals had to be buried we have archaeological evidence for this as well the burial count of Jesus also meets the criteria of embarrassment since they had to admit they could not afford their own tomb to bury Jesus but had to you

Kim of a member of the court who had just executed him there are just too many facts would support the burial of Jesus only a few skeptical scholars in the Jesus Seminar deny this but the majority does not and we’ll come back to this later and discuss it more but both

Of these facts could still be true and Jesus would still be dead in the grave the real question is what happened next what caused the events which followed and led to the rise of Christianity from a small backwater province in Rome there have been a wide variety of theories

That have been proposed in order to explain what took place three days after Jesus was buried and this video will cover the four most popular in general theories to see which best fits the data the first theory is the mythic theory this is probably the most popular among

Laymen sceptics it argues that all the events in miracle claims of Jesus were made up at a later time and were not made up by early eyewitnesses the disciples never claimed Jesus rose from the dead and was only made up by later Christians the second is like the mythic

Theory but it is called the conspiracy theory historical evidence that justices probably the earliest competing theory offered to challenge the resurrection account it says that the disciples made up the story of Jesus rising from the dead and simply lied about it all for their own gain third we’ll look at the hallucination

Theory which comes in many variations and it’s probably the most popular among skeptical New Testament scholars it basically says that after Jesus died the disciples were grief-stricken and had hallucinations or visions that Jesus had arisen from the dead and that propelled them to think he was alive again and

Finally we’ll compare these two the resurrection theory which is that Jesus actually did rise from the dead and the disciples believed it because they witnessed it so let’s look at the facts and see if any of these theories can fully explain the data the first piece is something that is accepted by almost

Unanimous scholarship which is that after Jesus died his disciples said he appeared to them again alive there is not a lot of doubt among scholars that the disciples believed this had happened Bart Ehrman says I don’t doubt at all that some disciples claimed this Paul writing about 25 years later indicates

That this is what they claimed and I don’t think he is making it up EP sander says it is an equally secure fact that Jesus disciples saw him in what sense is not certain after his death thereafter his followers saw him the reason for this is because it has multiple attestation in various

Sources including Josephus and there is no way to explain the rise of Christianity if this did not happen something had to happen which compelled the disciples to begin the world’s largest religion with seemingly nothing well people claim may see all sorts of things so why should we take the claims

Of the disciples seriously how do we know their testimony is reliable and they were not simply making the appearances up well in our previous series we’ve already established a new Testament it’s very early and reliable in what it reports so there is plenty of evidence their testimony is reliable but

Putting that aside we should at least evaluate when eyewitness testimony is unreliable for instance when events happen quickly or over a period of a few seconds it is hard to retain memory of an event or when people go out looking for what they want to find people that are desperately

Desiring to find Bigfoot will sometimes fool themselves into thinking they found something or when the participants are all strangers like during a bank robbery it is hard to retain memory when you were around unfamiliar people and last it is hard to retain memory if there was a weapon involved for the simple reason

That everyone is focused on the weapon and not anything else however if we examine the resurrection reports none of these seem to be a factor there is certainly not a weapon involved and it is not with strangers the disciples are familiar with each other and who they are witnessing they believe had risen

The disciples were also not expecting Jesus to rise from the dead all the accounts embarrassingly report that the disciples had misunderstood the Scriptures in what Jesus had claimed and they did not expect him to come back and the reports do not seem to happen quickly but over a period of time where

Jesus would eat and drink with him and engage in conversations or give them instructions even if you could write off the Gospels and acts as later myths we still have preserved for us early creeds and oral sermons handed down which report these as well so the reports on the surface level do

Not match circumstances that create unreliable testimony as EP Sanders admits they definitely experienced something which doesn’t bode well for the conspiracy theory so what if these accounts which is made up at a later date well this seems to be rejected by most scholars since Paul preserved for

Us an early Creed in first Corinthians 15 which is a list of witnesses that Jesus was said to have appeared to they include Peter the rest of the disciples a group of five hundred at once then James and then all the Apostles most scholars believe this list of witnesses

In the Creed goes back to within three years of Pentecost the reasons for this are simply overwhelming it is formed in a mnemonic structure and with parallelism and it is less than fifty words and all this seems to meaning was an early Creed for katha sizing new Christians it was something easy to

Learn and memorize Paul also says of the Corinthians I delivered to you when I received this is a rabbinic statement for a teacher passing on something to his students so it had to have come from the disciples themselves very early on before they could teach it to Paul the

Creed also calls Peter Cephas and not by his name Peter Cephas was an early name for him only later on was he called Peter and it has an independent tradition that is not contingent on the Gospels such as the appearance to James in the independent appearance to Peter Geritol Collins says

That he doesn’t know of any New Testament scholar who dates the Creed after the mid 40s so all the evidence suggested is very early and this means the reports of appearances are very early on as well that rules out the mythic theory what about the hallucination theory well the problem is

The appearances happen in group settings even in the early Crete and group hallucinations are exceptionally rare and because of this there was not a lot of scientific literature to explain them in a private email with scholar Michael Kona psychologist dr. Gary sabzi says I have surveyed the professional literature peer-reviewed journal

Articles and books written by psychologists psychiatrists and other relevant health care professionals during the past two decades and have yet to find a single documented case of a group hallucination an event for which there is more than one person purportedly sharing in a vision or other sensory perceptions

Where there was clearly no referent so there is not a lot of scientific evidence group hallucinations can happen peer-reviewed work on hallucinations also reports that they most often manifests in one sensory mode such as auditory or visual and then multimode hallucinations are exceptionally rare yet the appearances of Jesus contain at

Least both of these elements making the hallucination theory exceptionally improbable for an elucidation to explain the appearances you would have to say that the disciples are all each having a rare multi-mode hallucination that they are all agreeing Jesus is doing certain things like eating and drinking and giving them the exact same instructions

And this would need to have happened multiple times not just once even if you could write off the Gospels and acts as later myths we still have the early Creed preserved in 1st Corinthians 15 in other early sermons preserved in acts which report that Jesus ate and drank

With the disciples CH Dodd notes the speeches and acts seem very early because they lack influence from Pauline theology or vocabulary they contain a high degree of Semitism meaning they were likely originally Aramaic and they lack resemblance to the original written elements of Acts and Luke meaning they

Likely predate acts and seemed to be very early Aramaic speeches so the reports are very early and appear in group settings multi-sensory and over a period of time in hallucinations with these elements are so improvable it would have to be a miracle to cause one let alone several but what about the

Power of suggestion sometimes one person can cause others around them to he’ll loosen eight the same thing through the power of suggestion such as people in a lifeboat where one thinks they see a ship in the distance and they all think they see the same ship in anomalistic psychology a study of extraordinary

Phenomenon behavior and experience authors Lucy and Jones are at some of the very little literature on group hallucinations and theorize that if there is an expectation emotional excitement and people having been informed beforehand that a group hallucination may be possible it is also believed they will vary in what is

There’s a and Jones site an event from 1917 where 70,000 people said they witnessed a public miracle however the reports varied although the children reportedly saw the Virgin the crowd at least many of them witnessed a color phenomenon in which the son in the shape of a fiery disc

Began to move and approached the earth however Zeus nee and Jones also had to conclude with the final answer to these questions has yet to be obtained so they still maintain a scientific explanation has yet to explain collective hallucinations however even if they could it is interesting how their

Criteria doesn’t fit the resurrection appearances expectation and excitement were definitely not present the narratives embarrassingly portray the disciples as cowardly running for their lives after Jesus was crucified they even doubted the report of the women and when they first saw Jesus they were frightened which shows they were not

Excited and didn’t understand what was going on second it is interesting that if the appearances of Jesus were hallucinations then they do not for the criteria of varying drastically between reports all report a bodily resurrection of Jesus where he looks sort of like himself but also slightly different and

His body has new powers that do not have before as William Lane Craig says the fact remains that there is not a single instance in the case books exhibiting the diversity involved and the post-mortem appearances of Jesus but the biggest problem with the hallucination theory is this even if you discount the

Gospels is unreliable one still is to account for the early Christians preaching bodily resurrection and not a spiritual appearance the first Christians were very familiar with visions and claim to actually have some in acts 12 when the servant girl finds Peter at the gate she runs a tell

Everyone and they tell her the appearance she had with just an angel so the Christians firmly understood what visions and spiritual experiences were yet they never interpreted the appearances of Christ as just spiritual visions they firmly believed it was a bodily appearance and that is what they preached from the beginning as even

Sceptical scholar curlew Daman agrees so since the appearances were in group settings multi-sensory do not vary or were interpreted to be spiritual but always physical there was no expectation or excitement for them the hallucination theory cannot account for these appearances so what about the conspiracy theory well despite the early facts we

Mentioned about how the resurrection appearances do not match factors that make testimony unreliable it would be hard to explain how the Christians could hold together such a radical conspiracy with over 500 people involved before Christ was crucified they couldn’t even keep Judas from betraying them however

If all we have to go on is the appearances themselves and no other piece of data we have to accept that this theory could at least tentatively account for the reports of appearances even though it seems like a stretch so I don’t see any reason why the conspiracy

Theory could not account for this piece of data if especially there was no more data to go over finally the resurrection theory can account for this since if Jesus did rise from the dead reporting his physical appearance makes perfect sense the next piece of data is appearances to skeptics it is almost

Unanimously accepted that James and the brothers of Jesus were not his followers during his crucifixion it is also unanimously accepted that Paul was an enemy of the church originally in a later convert the reason for this is Paul admits it himself and cites an early Creed in Galatians 1 22

To 23 he who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy if we add the account and acts we have multiple attestation and it meets the criteria of embarrassment since Paul reports it himself that he was once the enemy and was in the wrong

The same goes for the conversion of James it is clear in the early material Paul the leader of the Jerusalem church was none other than James the brother of Jesus however all the evidence suggests that James did not believe his brother was the Christ during jesus’s ministry the Gospels embarrassingly report that

The Brothers of Jesus were skeptical of him no early Christian would dare attack a prominent leader in the church by claiming he was once jesus’s enemy James was also not listed as one present at the cross and Jesus surrendered his mother over to the Beloved Disciple

But why not his own brothers if they were in the Christian ranks this is why most scholars accept James and his brothers or early skeptics and only converted after the crucifixion so what happened that turned these enemies into believers well the mythic theory is a hard time explaining this since Paul was very

Early on writing and quoting a Creed about his own conversion also mentioning the changes in early skeptic would not have been made up as no Christian would dare to dishonor shame her lie about one of their own leaders in such a terrible way so this fact would not have been

Made up later on yet it is clear James was the early leader of the Jerusalem church as Paul and Josephus record could James and Paul of lied the question must be asked why on earth would they have done that the early church was a small persecuted and

Hated minority with a messiah who is just shamefully crucified as a criminal it was too poor to even afford their own tomb Jesus had dishonored the family and James has already opposed to him why would James suddenly feel the need to make up an appearance of Jesus’s resurrection if there was nothing to

Gain and only shame and dishonor to suddenly reverse but claim his brother was Lord after he had already mocked him openly to do such a thing would make no sense Paul also had no reason to try this he was at the top of his game a prominent leader on the rise and making

A name for himself while he persecuted the church he had everything going for him and suddenly he has an urge to leave all that and join the persecuted minority he had already hated such a sudden conversion he knew to be a lie would take a miracle in itself of nothing else

So what have they both hallucinating well adding more hallucinations to this theory begins to multiply its assumptions and causes it to lack parsimony it is even harder to explain since neither them were grieving that Jesus had died especially Paul who hated the church James may have been in grief

For his brother but he didn’t believe he was the Lord and would never have expected or even considered a physical resurrection says a dying rising Messiah was not part of second temple Judaism beliefs as scholar Michael ocona says James and his brothers would have regarded their dead brother as a heretic

Rather than rushed to Jerusalem and be caught up in the group ecstasy it seems more likely that Jesus’s execution as a criminal on a blasphemer would have supported their continual unbelief rather their conversion the plausibility of Paul having hallucination is even far lower than James since hallucinations usually happened for people who are

Expecting them and grieving over the death of the loved one neither of these would have been the case for Paul nor would a mere vision have caused his sudden conversion as we said earlier the early church knew what visions were and if Paul simply had a

Dream he would have called it a dream and moved on a hallucination would be very improbable as the cause of Paul’s sudden conversion however the Christian theory can easily explain the conversion and appearance to skeptics if Jesus really did rise and appear to them that would be enough to

Cause their miraculous conversion now we have surveyed the appearances but that is only half the battle since we cannot interview them personally today or perform a psychoanalysis but what we can do is look at the surrounding facts that accompany these appearances for us today and see which theory is the most

Plausible for them so now it’s time to fill in the gaps first up the expectation of the gospel to the surrounding world the message of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins may sound loving and warm to us but to the ancient world a culture that thrived

On honor and status such a message would be nothing but disgusting and horrendous Walter bear said the enemies of Christianity always refer to this gracefulness of the death of Jesus with great emphasis and malicious pleasure a God or son of God dying on a cross that

Was enough to put paid to the new religion david de silva knows the same thing in his work christianity was founded on a premise that should have failed from the moment it began the christians preach to the Gentiles to worship a man that was shamefully executed on the cross not only that but

A Jew of all people who the Romans looked down upon but even more than that a Jew who was a carpenter which it was also a position that was looked down upon Cicero said that such an occupation was vulgar and compared to slavery on top of that they preach physical

Resurrection to the Roman world which was detested by most pagans who thought the purpose of death was to escape the evil material universe and make it to the spiritual realm yet the Christians taught the Jewish idea that heaven would be the restoration in eternal Kingdom on earth which was not something

Pagans hoped for but even more the Christians place ethical demands on the new converts that would have shocked most pagans no temple prostitution or even extramarital affairs morality was radically challenged by the Christians that flew in the face of most pagans as they Sylvan knows the message about this

Christ was incompatible with the most deeply rooted religious ideology of the Gentile world as well as with the most recent message propagated in the Roman Imperial ideology this is seen in how the Christian opponents like Kelsey’s attacked Christianity he attacked Christians for worshipping a God who

Could not beat the Romans or even escape from the cross Justin Martyr had to respond to these attacks because pagans were calling the Christians mad for putting a crucified man next to the eternal God the Jews also thought the message of Christ was embarrassing they’re supposed Messiah was shamefully

Crucified and murdered by the Roman enemy the Messiah was expected to be a conqueror who would defeat Rome and restore the Kingdom of Israel Jesus was shamed and disgraced to follow him was to give up on the Jewish idealization of a conquering Messiah and a restored Israel on top of that Jesus

Was from Galilee and Nazareth of all places areas were looked down upon by the Jews his father was not known to them so he had a shady family history which the Jews were not keen to forget everything the Christian stood for was working against them they had better

Have good evidence and truly thought Jesus had been raised because the odds were completely against them on every front as NT Wright says Christianity was born into a world where its central claim was known to be false this being so knowing the expectation the gospel would have no group of conspirators

Would ever have made it their core doctrine if you’re going to make up a message the gain of following you want to make up something that is appealing and will work to your advantage not something that was expected to fail so the conspiracy theory could not explain

Why the Christians would make up such a story neither can the hallucination theory as we said before the crucifixion of Jesus is almost unanimously accepted by scholars as well as the fact that Jesus did it advocate lie ethical loads so unless the entire population of Jerusalem hallucinating Jesus’s crucifixion and message this

Would not be something that Christians were fallen to believing hallucinations also usually happen to grieving people as a psychological way to comfort themselves you would not hallucinate things to believe that would cause you more trouble and grief so the hallucination theory cannot explain what the disciples would preach

An utterly embarrassing message in a way to win converts and again as we’ve already noted the disciples and early church knew what visions were yet they preached the physical resurrection as part of the gospel not a spiritual vindication it would have been easier for their Gentile audience and even

Jewish audience who didn’t expect a resurrection to happen until the end of time to preach a spiritual assumption over a physical return and transformation hallucinations would have inferred this not a reanimation of the body since we know crucifixion was preached early the mythic Theory cannot explain

This either it would also fail for the same reasons the conspiracy theory does but all this fits perfectly with the resurrection theory this is what was preached by Christians because this is how it happened and they preached this embarrassing message because it was true the next factor look at is the low

Status of women in the ancient world it is unanimously accepted that in the ancient world the testimony of women was not to be trusted but let not the testimony of women be admitted on account of the levity and boldness of their sex any evidence which a woman

Gives is not valid to offer let the words of the law be burned rather than given to women there is a whole host of other sources we could look at which shows women were believed to be less trustworthy than men the ancient world was very clear the testimony of women

Was not to be trusted now take that and marvel at the fact that in the Gospels the women are the first and primary witnesses to the empty tomb this fact was utterly embarrassing for the early church first they admit they didn’t even trust the testimony of the women then

All the early sermons found in acts and the epistles always skip over the fact of the women were the first to discover the tomb that doesn’t contradict the Gospels but they tend to stay on this matter in order to make their early case because women were not deemed

To be credible witnesses yet when they write down the accounts of how it happened they cannot leave this fact out because they played such a key role discovering the empty tomb this is a serious claim because as Richard baulkham says in these stories women are given priority by God as recipients of

Revelation and thereby the role of mediators of that revelation to men the Gospels claimed the women were an intricate part of the revelation of God and the first key eyewitnesses to the resurrection thereby making their testimony necessary and telling how the empty tomb was found for an ancient

Writer this was not something you would ever make up Cal says even uses to try to discredit Christianity who claimed the entire argument for the empty tomb rested on the testimony of women NT Wright says as historians we are obliged to comment that if these stories have

Been made up five years later let alone thirty forty or fifty years later they would never have had Mary Magdalene in this role put Mary there is from the point of view of Christian apologists wanting to explain to a skeptical audience that Jesus really did rise from

The dead like shooting themselves in the foot but to us as historians this kind of thing is gold dust the early Christians would never never have made this up so the mythic theory or the conspiracy theory lacks any explanatory power with this one as Michael okona says even if the disciples

Had fled Jerusalem Joseph of Arimathea or Nicodemus may have been better candidates than women for discovering the empty tomb what about the hallucination theory it is difficult to say if the hallucination theory could fit with this one if all we have to go on is this fact I suppose you could say

Someone had a crazy dream and thought women discovered the empty tomb before anyone else but why they weren’t expecting it in multiple sources seem to agree this is how it happened plus it was such an embarrassing fact that everyone involved would have wanted to make sure it actually happened and

That it was not a dream or a subjective vision so will allow this one to pass just to be fair but there was really no reason why one would hallucinate this since it was not comforting or expected to happen but even though it lacks explanatory power will allow to tentatively pass

Until we can evaluate the evidence for the empty tomb and finally the Christian theory has no problem explaining this because the writers were reporting how it happened and of course because God is no respecter of persons and there is neither male nor female for we are all

One in Christ next fact the immediate proclamation in Jerusalem the majority of scholars could not deny that the resurrection was first preached in Jerusalem all the evidence leads to Jerusalem as being the home base and happening very early on such as the development of early Christian Creed’s and how all the sources suggest

Jerusalem is where Christianity began Tacitus mentions off the cuff that Christianity began in Judea and spread from there in one of Paul’s early epistles he mentions off the cuff that the Apostles are still preaching in Jerusalem now why does this matter well when we look at the importance of time

And when you proclaim a miracle that fact can make a serious impact as James siren said the Apostles proclaim the resurrection at Pentecost when Jerusalem expected the spread of the report and endeavored to prevent it well the eyes of their enemies were yet sparkling with rage and madness

While Calvary was yet died with the blood they had spilt there do imposters take such measures would they not have waited till the fury of the Jews had been appeased till judges and public officers had been changed until people had been less attentive to their dispositions if the evidence was not in

Their favor it would have made sense for the early church to go elsewhere as cults often do cult leaders ran up their followers and take them away from civilization or to a different area from the place where you can be disproven even with Mormonism Joseph Smith’s led his people away from New York

But the disciples walked right up to the Sanhedrin and said you crucified your Messiah and he has been raised now these people are either crazy or they are absolutely convinced they are right so the conspiracy theory has no hope of explaining this if you’re an impostor

You go off to Spain or India and proclaim your miracle not in Jerusalem where they have the evidence then motive and the means to debunk you since we know the resurrection was proclaimed early on and it was in Jerusalem it is hard to say that the mythic theory can

Explain this either this was not something we can say with developed later if the created first Corinthians 15 is roughly dated within three years of Pentecost that means there were Christians right there on Jerusalem developing this which set a foundational belief for Christians to be able to

Memorize so there is no reason to think it was developed later on or far off elsewhere so the mythic theory cannot explain this fact either but what about the hallucination theory well if all we have to go on is this fact I suppose a miraculous hallucination could convince

The disciples to preach the resurrection immediately in Jerusalem but it is still doubtful because hallucinations or visions don’t really imply a physical resurrection or do they fit with group hallucinations as we discussed earlier but it is possible if all we have is this fact alone so just in case we miss

Something we’ll allow this one to pass but the resurrection theory explains this with the most ease because if Jesus was resurrected of course the disciples had the boldness to proclaim the resurrection God would have been on their side and all the evidence would have been in their favor

Next fact the voluntary suffering of disciples and witnesses this is an important fact we cannot ignore multiple attestation from Christian and non-christian sources testifies that the early witnesses of the risen Christ were persecuted martyred for their faith Tacitus and Suetonius mention events and Josephus as well who even tells us how

James was martyred in Jerusalem first belief Jesus was the Risen Messiah Paul also admits to intense persecution early on in fact his scholars like NT right note 2nd Corinthians was written as a response to the Corinthians who asked Paul to provide some evidence of good fortune to show God was on his side

Asian people believed like some still today that if you were suffering persecution it was evidence you were being punished by God and needed to turn from your ways Paul responded with the opposite despite the cultural norms and it was meant to challenge their beliefs of how God worked a later Epistle from

Clement of rome talked of how Paul and Peter were martyred in Rome for their faith and axor course how the early witnesses were persecuted and murdered the evidence for this is multiple attested so what some people may say people die for their faith all the time why are the

Christians any different people will and have often died for things that were false but they don’t tend to die for something they know to be false we’re not talking about Christians who were martyred but the founders of Christianity who were murdered these men and women did not die just for faith but

Something they claim to have seen with their own eyes the root meaning of the word martyr is witness over time we’ve expanded the word to mean anyone who dies for their beliefs but originally they referred to someone who was a witness of an event and died for his

Truth the disciples didn’t just die for their beliefs they died for events they claimed had happened and knew very well they were true are made up fliers make lousy martyrs when you have nothing to gain it doesn’t make sense to make up or hold to a theory that is going to get

You nothing and the Apostles were not getting a whole lot out of their new religion they were constantly facing persecution from the Jews and threats of death nor do they become wealthy from what they were doing they were doing it because they were insane than one of the

Cult following they did some things that didn’t make any sense like establishing churches in other regions which it did not have total control over Paul moved from city to city raising up believers and then moving on you’re trying to establish a cult in a controlled group

Of people you do as cults do you gather your followers remove them from society where there’s a threat they’ll be pulled away by reality and you keep them very close to keep them brainwashed the Apostles didn’t do that they stayed in populated cities and left their new

Churches to go start more churches in other cities which leaves your followers vulnerable to corruption and if we read the epistles that is exactly what happened the Apostles had to revisit them and write letters to correct them constantly so it doesn’t seem like there was anything to gain from starting

Christianity unless it was an elaborate plan to be martyred so the conspiracy theory is hopeless in explaining this one the mythic theory doesn’t work either because the voluntary suffering has multiple attestation and even from secular authors and there is nothing that challenges that the disciples were

Persecuted or that many of them died for the events there port it is true if the disciples hallucinate the whole thing that it is possible they would be willing to take it to the grave but it would have to be a wild miraculous hallucination to utterly convince them of it and as we

Have seen such hallucinations are very improbable but it is slightly slightly slightly possible if the resurrection theory is true then this fact makes perfect sense the disciples were willing to suffer because Jesus was resurrected and it was better to deny men than to deny God who they witnessed with their own eyes

Final fact the existence of the empty tomb Gary Habermas has surveyed the material written by scholars on the resurrection and it’s found that 75% of them accept that tomb was found empty on Easter morning for example skeptical scholar Jacob Cramer says by far most exegetes hold firmly to the reliability of the

Biblical statements concerning the empty tomb the evidence for this is simply overwhelming however some scholars like John Dominic Crossan do not think Jesus was buried in a tomb but thrown in a trench for dogs to eat because the Romans who not have a lot of proper burial for criminals but such a theory

Flies in the face of a mountain of evidence first Dale Alison who is skeptical of physical resurrection points out the word in the cretan 1st Corinthians 15 for bury would rarely be used for dumping of criminals in a trench for dogs to eat so the earliest

Account of the burial of Jesus would be incompatible with Crossing’s argument we also have multiple attestation crucified victims were buried and two different sources say Jesus was buried we also have archaeological evidence a crucified victim received a proper burial and there was no reason to think the Romans

Would not have allowed this practice they were certainly okay with allowing other Jewish practices to go on in Jerusalem that’s just temple worship which they detest it because it meant a rejection of Roman gods they allowed to juice a conductor on trials have their own temple guards keep the Sabbath and so forth

There is no reason they would not have allowed this as well and it fits with archaeological and textual evidence Jesus’s burial not only has multiple attestation but it meets the criteria of embarrassment since they say he was buried in the tomb of a Sanhedrin member which would have been dishonouring for

His followers such a group had just their lorry and now they needed the Bama tune for him from one of its own members to the public this would have looked pretty humiliating and the fact that they mentioned he was in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea means the tomb was

Public knowledge and its whereabouts were known so the public at any time would have known about it and could have readily debunked it if the tomb was not empty but the account of the empty tomb is also embarrassing because it was discovered by women and we have already

Discussed this is not something you would have made up Matthew also mentions the competing theory that the disciples stole the body this is odd because why would Matthew want to mention the competing theory which could possibly start up doubt among the people he was trying to convert Justin Martyr writing

Later has to respond to this theory because it was the official story Jews were telling people which is an interesting admission because it says the body could not be found if the Sanhedrin still at the body they could have had Gentiles bring it out for them

And show the tomb was never empty but the Christians never had to respond to this charge so both sides agreed the body was missing finally we have the Nazareth inscription a stone found in the area and it has written on it an imperial decree from around 41 ad which

Says that the penalty for grave robbing was death which is interesting because it is very severe for how Romans punished thieving the Romans would not normally give such a high penalty for stealing something but this will make sense with the rise of Christianity and what Suetonius tells us in Rome there

Were riots among the Jews on accounts of Christus which was a common Roman mispronunciation of Christ and eventually Claudius expelled all the Jews because of it if some Jews in Rome were preaching Christ was resurrected and riots resulted from it and the tomb was not empty there would be no need for

An imperial decree because they could just produce the body but because the only alternative explanation was the body was missing because it was stolen Rome’s only option would be to issue a decree to try to combat the accounts of a missing body if there was a body then

Rome could have just dispelled the riots with the body and not have to indirectly admit the body when missing so it appears to be that from all sides the body was missing away there’s no evidence the empty tomb was just a fabrication and this is why most scholars today accept that tomb was

Found empty all the evidence simply favours it so if the body was stolen who did it would Rome of course not because they would not have cared how about the Jewish leaders why would they they wanted Jesus crucified shamed buried and forgotten the last thing they wanted was

Suspicion of him coming back to life of course the Sanhedrin claimed it was the disciples but that is unlikely their rabbi had just been crucified and a movement was dispersed in shamed they were in fear the Jewish authorities would come after them as well there is

No reason to think they would have been in the position to steal a body and create a mass hoax second if they had stolen the body there is little reason to think they would have reported the theory that Jewish leaders were spreading if it was true the last thing

They would have wanted would help spread the rumor they had stolen the body and if they had stolen the body they would not have reported to their shame and dishonor that they had not believed the reports of the women when they found the empty tomb nor would they have

Embarrassingly reported that they had not understood that Jesus had predicted his rise these were very embarrassing and shameful things to report later Christians would not have made this up and attack the honor and authority of their leaders nor would have the disciples unless they wanted to shame

Themselves and most of all where would they have taken the body a common overlooked fact is that this was Passover and the city was flooded with pilgrims they would have been seen and they would have been caught it would have been very hard to pull off especially getting the body out of the

Sanhedrin section of town so for the conspiracy theory to work you need to deposit the disciples were in fear for their lives yet somehow decided to steal the body and faked a resurrection even though none of them were expecting that then they managed to get the body out of

The Sanhedrin section of town where the tombs were and hide it in an overcrowded City the entire theory becomes overwhelmingly unlikely the hallucination theory doesn’t work either did the entire population of Jerusalem hallucinate so the theory it was not really discovered empty fails as well what about the mythic theory so I’ve

Tried to claim the empty tomb was made up later because it is not specifically mentioned in the Creed Paul gives us in first Corinthians well this just ignores the amount of evidence we already gave and that the empty tomb and physical resurrection are both mentioned in the early passion

Narrative found in mark but most of all it overlooks what the Korean first Corinthians says it says that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures he was buried and raised it is pretty obvious that what was buried

Is what was raised and therefore the tomb would have been empty as NT Wright says the fact that the empty tomb itself so prominent the Gospel accounts does not appear to be specifically mentioned in this passage is not significant the mention here of buried and raised no

More need to be amplified in that way then one would need to amplify the statement I walk down the street with the qualification on my feet so the mythic theory fails here as well but there is one theory they can’t account for all the data it is the theory that

Jesus was raised and vindicated by God no other Theory out there can account for all the data the mythic theory fails because we only argued from facts that we know are early and could not have been made up the conspiracy theory could not account for the quality of the

Testimonies of the disciples the empty tomb herwise skeptics would join a small persecuted minority the hallucination theory could only work if you posit some pretty miraculous hallucinations to cause the disciples to change their idea skeptics to convert and posit crazy ideas no one was expecting or looking

For it has to posit such a wild hallucination it would take a miracle itself only the theory that was reported can account for all the data because of that it has explanatory scope because they can explain all the data with the least amount of effort it has explanatory power it provides

Illumination as well which means it can explain other areas of history like the rise of Christianity and the belief in physical resurrection in fact this means three pieces of the criteria are filled that historians use when judging an historical hypothesis behan mccullough who has outlined the criterion for weighing historical theories accepts the

Resurrection hypothesis meets these three things better than any other hypothesis but claims it fails the other two pieces of criteria this Christian hypothesis is of greater explanatory scope and power than other hypotheses which try to account for the relevant evidence but it is less plausible and more ad hoc than

They are so McCullough accepts the resurrection meets three out of five of the criteria for historical investigation but fails the other two however there have been replies to challenge this dr. Travis Campbell has why is the resurrection theory ad-hoc to be ad hoc according to McCullough means a number

Of new suppositions are made by hypothesis that are not already implied in existing knowledge so the hypothesis adds extra assumptions in order to explain the data that is not already present but dr. Campbell points out the resurrection theory only adds one extra assumption not multiple it is difficult

To see why the resurrection hypothesis is extraordinarily ad hoc it requires only one new supposition that God exists surely rival hypotheses require many new suppositions the hallucination theory requires we say group hallucinations plus multi-sensory experiences happened on multiple occasions and that they were so powerful that the disciples took it

To their death preaching something that only brought in poverty and turmoil as well as a crazy Mass City hallucination that there was an empty tomb the conspiracy theory wants us to believe a bunch of frightened followers of Jesus stole a body in secret in an overcrowded

City to makeup up the story they were not expecting or was not in line with Jewish messianic expectations in order to get themselves murdered and that some of the skeptics decided to join their poor persecuted movement for no reason at all the mythic theory expects us to believe an extra assumption for each

Fact that it was actually made up later in spite of hard evidence these facts were very early and unlikely made up the resurrection theory only wants us to add the assumption that God exists which is not @ha if we combine the resurrection argument with other arguments we’ve already presented which infer theism

Since we’ve already argued for theism the resurrection hypothesis would hardly be ad hoc as dr. Campbell says moreover for the person who is already a theist the resurrection hypothesis does not even introduced a new supposition of God’s existence since that is already implied by existing knowledge so the resurrection hypothesis cannot be said

To be ad ha simply by a virtue of the number of suppositions it introduces what about plausibility a historical theory is plausible if other areas are known with confidence and suggests the same theory yours is suggesting so if other things suggests the same conclusion is your theory that would make your theory

Plausible and in line with other beliefs but as we’ve already suggested why would the resurrection theory not be plausible if we have other arguments to infer theism as William Lane Craig says only if the naturalist has good reasons to think that God’s existence is implausible or is intervention in the

World implausible could he justifiably regard the resurrection hypothesis as implausible so if one insists on assuming naturalism is true and leaves no reason for theism as a possibility then they can say the resurrection theory is implausible but that is arguing from a presupposition and not being open to evidence regardless of how

One feels about it and we can say that in conjunction with other arguments the resurrection hypothesis is not ad hoc nor is it implausible has already been shown God exists thus we can see why Anthony flue was bold enough to say the resurrection has more evidence than any

Other miracle claim the resurrection is the only theory that can explain all the data and it can do it while not being at hawk or implausible the evidence infers that God has acted in the world to raise Jesus from the dead as Paulo Frederickson admitted they must have

Seen something in all the evidence favors that what they saw was the risen Savior

R.C. Sproul: The Resurrection of Christ



That will be glory when we see him in the power of the resurrection. Let’s pray. Our Father and our God, as we consider now the mighty work that you performed by the power of the Spirit to raise Him from the tomb.

That certain sign that you have given by which the whole world is judged. We pray that we may see the full import of that moment in history when you raised Him from the grave. For we ask it in Jesus’ name – Amen.

Just a couple of days ago I was reading an article in the newspaper about the recently discovered bones of Jesus, which I refer to as the journalistic phase and sensational phase of theology. To get the press’ attention in religion the more bizarre the proposition is, the more attention they give it.

I was somewhat surprised at the beginning of the article than the writer indicated that this recent assertion had be responded to by scholarly archeologists with a certain amount of scorn, revealing it for the absurdity that it was.

So I was beginning to warm up to this journalist, thinking “wow, finally we find one that fights for the angels.” Then he went on to give the results of the most recent poll in which he said 78 % of Americans (and that is how we determine truth you know – by counting noses.)

Believe in the resurrection of Jesus. The author inserted a little extra phrase there. He said “78% of Americans believe in the myth of the resurrection of Jesus.” He just couldn’t hold it back. He had to get it in there. The myth of resurrection.

One of the oldest questions if not the oldest question of theology was the one asked by Job “if a man dies shall he live again?” And before we get to the New Testament answer to that question as set forth by the greatest

Apologist of the Christian church, the apostle Paul, I want to spend a little bit of time in background to refer your attention to two watershed events that radically changed the world in the decade of the 70’s. But I am not thinking of the 1970’s. I am not even thinking of the 1870’s.

But I am thinking of the 1770’s where most Americans believe the most important watershed event took place in that decade when some disgruntled colonists on this side of the ocean rose in protest against certain illegal procedures by parliament by declaring their independence, and inaugurating this country’s birth as an independent nation.

But I believe that something else happened in that same decade in Europe that had even far greater ramifications then the American Declaration of Independence. It was the work of a single man in Prussia who was a professor whose chief at the University of Cornisburg was the field of Astrophysics.

And he had contributed significantly by way of essays in the 18th century to the discipline of astro-physics. But his real claim to fame that catapulted him into international significance, this name who never traveled more than a hundred miles from his birth place and who was know

To take a walk every afternoon at exactly the same time, and was so punctual, indeed punctilious, was he that the villagers would check their timepieces by the afternoon stroll of this gentleman whose name ironically was Emmanuel, which hardly meant God with us, but came to mean “God unknown to us.”

This man was Emmanuel Kant who in the decade of the 70’s of the 18th century wrote the most definitive and comprehensive critique of the classical arguments for the existence of God in his book that was titled The Critique of Pure Reason, in which Emanuel Kant set

The bar for the centuries to follow for religious agnosticism. As a scientist he argued that we can not move from the visible world to the invisible world as the apostle Paul declares that not only can, but do in the first chapter of Romans.

He said we can’t move from the physical to the metaphysical, from the phenomenal world, as he called it, to the pneumenal world, which was the residence of God, the self, and the thing in itself. And so this critique of the classical arguments for the existence of God, given by Kant in

An effort not to save theology but to save science from the skepticism of David Hume, was as I say a watershed moment in western history because thereafter there was a seemingly un-breechable rift between science and theology.

But though Kant is known for ushering God out of the front door of the house, he ran around to the kitchen and opened the back door and tried to let God in through that entrance by the route not of metaphysical pursuit, but by reason of practical thinking.

Kant was very much concerned about morality and ethics. By the way when he considered his skeptical stance on the knowing of God, the one argument that he felt was most impressive was the argument to design. It was that which he could not explain.

But he was concerned with the study of man, that it would seem that in the heart of every human being there was this universally present sense of duty, or sense of “oughtness.” For which, he is famous for identifying as the categorical imperative.

It was Kant’s Germanic version of the golden rule if you will. But then he asks this question from a practical view point. Thinking transcendentally, what would the necessary conditions be to make this sense of oughtness, this sense of duty which provokes the pangs of conscience in human beings; what

Would be transcendentally necessary for this sense of duty to be meaningful? That is, he asked the question: What would have to be for ethics to be meaningful? And his concern, as I say, was practical. Because what he was concerned about was the survival of civilization.

And he understood that without some sense of ethics civilization can not survive for very long, as some of the other speakers have already addressed. And so, as he pondered that question: What would be necessary for ethics to be meaningful? He said the first thing is that there would have to be justice.

Because if there is no justice, then in the final analysis the person who acts according to this sense of ethic, this sense of duty would be involved in a fool’s errand in an exercise of meaninglessness. So, for ethics to be meaningful there must be justice.

And so then he looked around and he says that in the phenomenal world in which I live I notice that justice does not always prevail. And people were asking then as the Old Testament sages were asking “Why do the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer?”

And Kant said for justice to be true we must survive the grave. And not only must we survive the grave, in order for justice to prevail, but there must be beyond the grave to ensure justice a judge who would meet out and dispense pure justice.

And he went on to say: Well, what would the necessary conditions be for such a judge to ensure the distribution of justice? And he said, well first of all that judge would have to perfectly righteous and above reproach.

Because if the judge on the other side were an unjust judge then we would have no guarantee of the victory of justice and therefore no foundation for a meaningful ethic. Then he went on to say that judge would not only have to be righteous but we would also have to be omniscient.

Because for a judge to execute perfect justice, he would not only have to be just himself, but he would have to be free from being misinformed. A just judge could be responsible for a miscarriage of justice if he erred in his understanding of the case.

Then he went on the say that even if you say that you had a perfectly righteous omniscient judge, those two conditions would not guarantee the triumph of justice, because it would be possible that that perfect, just, and omniscient judge could give the correct sentence, but be powerless to carry it out.

So that judge in the next world would also have to have all power and authority within himself to guarantee justice. You see where Kant is going? He’s saying though on the basis of theoretical thought we can’t affirm the existence of God,

Metaphysically, never the less on the basis of practical considerations for a meaningful ethic we must assume the existence of God. Otherwise life is meaningless. And so we must live as if there were a God. Now that as it were, was the dyke that held back the full torrents of skepticism for a

Few years at the end of the enlightenment. But there were cracks in that dyke that soon gave way. And a metaphysical and ethical Katrina happened in western theoretical thought. Now, that is by way of introduction. Now, I’d like to show some parallel thinking that goes on between Kant and the apostle

Paul by looking at the fifteenth chapter of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Hear the word of God, in chapter fifteen, verse twelve. And I don’t know which is going to come to an end first, my message or my voice. So far the voice is losing. But we read in the text.

“Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?” That’s the question. If Christ has proclaimed that God has raised Him from the dead, how is it that some of

You (and he is writing to people in the church who were trying to have a Christianity without resurrection.) say that there is no resurrection from the dead. Now, what follows is a particular kind of argument. It is a particular form of debate common to ancient philosophers and one that was used

Regularly by the apostle Paul as an apologist. It is called the “ad hominum” form of argumentation. Now, be careful. Some of you studied logic in college or in high school perhaps. And you learned to identify certain fallacies of reasoning, both formal and informal.

And one of the most frequent informal fallacies is the fallacy of reasoning called “ad hominum abusive.” That is where if you can’t attack the cogency of a man’s argument, you attack the man. You say how can you believe what this speaker says when he is an adulterer.

Well, even adulterers who do not live the truth can from time to time argue cogently. And so the man’s character does not vitiate the man’s argument. But we do that all the time, particularly in the criminalization of politics as we witness everyday in Washington D.C.

So there is a fallacious form of argument that is called “ad hominum abusive.” And frequently to save breath and time, there is a kind of short hand that refers to that fallacy by simply calling it the “ad hominum” fallacy without qualifying it by the term “abusive.”

Now, I mention all this for this reason. There is another form of “ad hominum” reasoning that is a sound form and that is a form that has been in use by philosophers from time immemorial. And that is simply arguing to the man.

And that means that I step into the shoes of my opponent. We stipulate at the beginning agreement on certain premises, and now I take my opponent’s premise and I say “I grant you, your premise. But let’s see where this premise goes out of logical necessity.”

And so I take my opponents argument to its logical conclusion showing that if his premise is sound and true his conclusion will be absurd. Again going back to Zeno the ancient philosopher; this form of argument was called “reduxio ad absurdum” – arguing from the opponents premise, taking it to its logical conclusion

And showing by a resistless logic that the conclusion would be absurd. That is exactly what the apostle Paul is doing here with these folks in Corinth who are denying the resurrection. And they say there is no resurrection of the dead. That is a universal negative. That means it admits to no exceptions.

It is universal in the sense that it encompasses everybody because no on escapes it. It is called a universal negative because it is articulated in the negative form. If, let’s go now, there is no resurrection of the dead. That is premise A – no resurrection of the dead.

If that is true, then what else would be true? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised, obviously. We get that from the laws of necessary inference. If there is a universal negative, there can not be one positive.

So if there is no resurrection, than that means Christ can not have been raised. So, let’s see where that leads us. If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is in vain. So let’s face facts the apostle is saying.

Let’s not live like Alice in Wonderland in some kind of religious dream world. If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is an exercise in futility. I’m wasting my breath. I’m wasting my time. We’re all here wasting our time at a conference like this, if Christ has not been raised.

And not only is my preaching an exercise in meaninglessness, my faith is useless and worthless as is yours. Your faith is in vain, because you’ve invested your trust and your hope and your faith in a man whose man have just been dug up along with Mary Magdalene’s so recently.

Not only that but we are found, he says, to be misrepresenting God. Because we’ve said and testified that it is God who has raised Him from the dead. And if He has not been raised from the dead, then we ought to change the name of our church

To Jehovah’s False Witnesses because we have been attributing the power of this resurrection of Jesus to God. And that attribution is a false one. ”We have testified about God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.”

He has to keep rubbing our noses in the consequences there. “For if the dead are not raised,” if you missed it the first time and the second time, not even Christ has been raised. “And if Christ has not been raised your faith is futile. And you are still in your sins.”

You are still in it. You are contained in sin. You are still enmeshed in sin. You are still in jail to sin without bail; because our justification does not end with the cross, but Jesus was raised for our justification. The resurrection is God’s apologia, certifying to the world that He accepted atonement that

Jesus made on the cross. But if He is not raised from the dead you’re still in your sins. You see, you look at the world religions today, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism; the thing that they don’t have is an atonement and because they don’t have an atonement.

You can’t expect them to have a resurrection either. It wouldn’t cause any crisis of faith for any Muslim to dig up the bones of Muhammad. Muhammad is dead. Buddha is dead. Confucius is dead. But Christianity stands or falls with a resurrected Jesus. And that is what Paul is saying here.

If he is not raised, your faith is nonsense and you are still in your sins. Not only that, those also who have fallen asleep in Christ, (let’s face it) our beloved ones, our husbands, our wives, our children, our parents, our friends who have died in the faith have perished.

That’s the grim reality if there is no resurrection from the dead. If in this life only we have hoped in Christ we of all people, are the most to be pitied. I say to the enemies of the Christian faith; if you don’t like what we preach; if you don’t

Like what we teach, don’t be mad at us. Pity us. Because if we are preaching a false doctrine of resurrection, if we are conjuring up a hope with no real foundation for it, then we forfeit much of the fun, supposedly, of this world, where you only go around once.

And you might as well go around and get all the gusto you can because you are on a fast pace to oblivion, to perishing without hope. It is a pitiable condition to be in. That is why the Bible says without Christ you are without hope.

So, I am just going to stop for a second and consider what Paul has just done here. Paul has drawn for us a ghastly picture of the consequences of no resurrection, no life after death. He is saying that if there is no resurrection then life itself under the sun is meaningless.

As Kant understood, your ethic, your sense of duty, your conscience is meaningless and without ethics of our society, civilization can not last. You are doomed ultimately to barbarianism, which our nation right now is rushing toward with such a velocity one wonders if anything other than the direct intervention of God

Will ever restrain it and stop it. Dostoevsky understood what Kant was arguing for in his practical reasoning that if there is no God, all things are permitted. The post-modernist understands that if there is not God and since there is no God and since

There is no resurrection from the dead, then what is left are personal preferences. Which can only be maintained if enough of you can exercise power for your complete liberty, you will make is right by your might. For you know of know other recourse.

What Kant was saying was this, since the alternative to life after death is so grim, since the alternative to life after death would make ethics impossible except for the fool. And since life without ethics is meaningless, we must live as if there is a God.

Talk about a justification for using religion as a bromide or as a crutch against facing meaninglessness. Here it is with a vengeance. Didn’t I say this put up a dyke that only lasted a little bit of time in western civilization?

A guy like Nietzsche comes along, and says: hey, let’s quit playing Alice in Wonderland. I’m not going to affirm the existence of God or the existence of life after death simply because the alternatives are grim and unbearable. Why don’t we just face it? There is not God. There is no afterlife.

There is no meaning. We are left with the nothingness, the nihil, the abyss of absurdity. This motion was seconded by Jean Paul Sartre, particularly in his little monograph, which title gave to the world his final evaluation of human existence: Nausea. That’s the end of human existence: Nausea.

Albert Camus said the only serious question left for philosophers left to examine is the question of suicide, because we are overwhelmed with the pressing and oppressing reality of the absence of God and the absence of hope. So you see Kant’s arguments didn’t stand up for the next generation.

They said “Kant gird up your loins like a man, face the inevitable. Quit trying to argue for the practical necessity of believing in God. And some can look at what Paul is doing here as the same thing.

Where he is saying if there is no resurrection your faith is in vain, your false witnesses, you preaching is an exercise in futility. But Paul does not argue for the resurrection on the basis of the hopelessness of life without it.

Yes, in the section I just read he agrees with Kant that without it life is hopeless, but that is not the foundation for his assertion that Christ is risen. He goes on to talk about the analogy that exists in nature with animals and plants and grass and human beings.

That you put a seed in the ground and before the life can come out of the ground there is a sense in which, at least metaphorically, that seed must die. It must rot to such a point that it releases and germinates the essence of life within it.

And in like manner, when our bones go into the ground, they await their final metamorphosis where God takes that which was mortal, sewn in mortality, is raised in immortality, sewn in corruption, raised in incorruption. And this analogy that the apostle uses in this same chapter closely resembles the argument

That Plato had used centuries before in arguing for life after death based upon analogies drawn from nature. When you think of the almost infinite varieties of life forms on this planet, it is hard to imagine that our life form, as high as it is, is the zenith of all life in the universe.

It could be, but what are the odds. But again Paul does not rest his case on analogies drawn from the butterfly or the seed. But why does assert the reality of the resurrection? At the beginning of the chapter, he reminds his readers of something.

He says “I would remind you brothers of the gospel. I want to remind you of the gospel that I preached to you which you received in which you stand and by which you are being saved.

If you hold fast to the word I preach to you unless you believed in vain, for I delivered to you as a first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures.” Now that was a compelling this to the Jew of the first century.

And it ought to be compelling to us. I said yesterday, or the day before that the two major tasks of apologetics is the defense of the existence of God, and secondly the defense of the scriptures as the word of God. And Paul now appeals to the scriptures.

“Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures.” So, Paul’s first line of apologetics is an appeal to sacred scripture. He is saying I believe in the first instance, in the resurrection of Christ because the

Word of God proclaims it. That is why I said it is so vital that we address this question of the veracity and authenticity and trustworthiness of the scriptures, because if you have that, the rest is easy. “That He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.”

And then listen to this, “and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, then He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive. Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all as to one untimely

Born, He appeared also to me.” When Peter wrote to the church he says “My brethren we declare to you not cleverly conceived myths and fables. What we declare to you is what we have seen with our eyes, and heard with our ears.”

We are not declaring to you, an unsubstantiated theory or even a religious proposition that we learned in Sunday School. We are declaring something of which we had an empirical experience. We saw it. We heard it. We beheld His glory on the plain of history. And this is what Paul is recounting here.

He is saying that He appeared to Cephas – that is to Peter, then to the twelve. He appeared. Again it is not like the disciples in the story of the resurrection, and the disciples ran to the tomb on Sunday morning and the stone was rolled away and they ran inside

The tomb and they found the grave cloths still in such beautiful arrangement. But there was no Jesus. There was no body – nobody. NO BODY there. There was nobody home. And then they came back and they scratched their heads. And they said “what happened to the body? We found an empty tomb.

What could that possibly mean?” And they figured it out. “Oh it must mean that He is risen so let’s go tell everybody that He is risen and let’s start celebrating Easter Sunday based on an inference drawn from an empty tomb.” No.

It is not the empty tomb that created the faith of the early church. It was the appearance of the risen Christ. He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. Well, these two could have cooked this up among themselves. But Paul says “wait a minute.

He appeared to more than five hundred at one time, most of whom are still alive. Go and ask them.” That’s their story and they are sticking to it. Eye witnesses, five hundred of them. We have more witnesses from history to the resurrection of Christ than we had to the life of Plato.

Then He appeared to James and to all the apostles, but what I am writing to you my dear friends in Corinth is not something that I believe on the basis of hearsay. It is good hearsay. These are good witnesses who told me this. I trust James. I trust Peter.

I trust the twelve, and you understand my credentials that I was the number one enemy of this new Christian sect that was running around proclaiming that Christ was raised from the dead. I was dragging them from prison, breathing out fire.

But last as all, “as one born out of due time, He appeared unto me.” See, the text that I just read to you was written by an eye witness to the resurrection. You are going to have to decide whether this is a credible witness or not.

Now, the one reason why the newspaper reporter says that this is a myth is not because he thinks that Paul was an idiot and fell out of the stupid tree and hit head on every branch along the way, or that he was just an uneducated fanatic from the first century.

They understand that Paul was the most educated man in Palestine when he wrote this apologia for the resurrection of Christ. His scholarly credentials were impeccable. The reason why the newspaper reporter would say it is a myth is because judging from our

Twenty first century understanding of biology, if there is anything we know now that primitive pre-scientific people in the first century didn’t know is that when people die they stay dead. And that it is impossible for the dead to rise.

Given that it is impossible for the dead to rise, then obviously the New Testament story of the resurrection of Jesus has to be a myth. What else could it possibly be? And calling it a myth is being kind, it could be an outright lie; if it’s impossible for the dead to rise.

What a different view of reality and of life we find in the New Testament, where there the impossibility according to the New Testament writers was for Him not to rise. The impossibility the premise in the New Testament is that it was impossible for death to hold Him.

And it is true that if there is any universal finding of experimental empiricism it is that when people die, they stay dead. But if there is anything more universally in our experience it is that when those people who died and stay dead, are people who are sinful people.

Now what happens if you get a people who is not sinful? Now what happens to the premise? Biblically, morality, “thanatos” death itself is inseparably tied to sin. It is the soul who sins that dies. So that if the New Testament testimony is true, that there was in Christ no sin, why

Would anyone expect Him to die. I can’t even believe – the real thing that is hard to believe is that He would die at all on the cross. And He couldn’t even die on the cross if it weren’t first that He took upon Himself the imputation of our sin.

Having taken our sin, then He met the necessary condition for human mortality. Apart from that the second Adam would never have died. But having paid that price, and finished that work, the Father raised Him from the tomb for our justification.

I can’t remember which speaker said what in this conference there were so many wonderful things said. But, this was God’s proof of the person of Jesus. Paul debated with the philosophers in Athens at the Areopagus, and I mentioned that when

He debated with the stoics and the epicureans he called attention to their monument to an unknown god. The philosophers were hedging their bets just in case they missed one. Paul said “What you worship in ignorance I proclaim to you in power.

For the God who made the world and everything in it being Lord of heaven and earth does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands as if He needed anything since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.”

If you stumble at the resurrection, the recovery of life from the death let me take you back earlier. How about the beginning of Jesus’ life? How about the beginning of your life? How about the beginning of anybody’s life? How about life itself? Why is there life at all in this universe?

When we understand as Ravi so eloquently pointed out the necessary conditions for life can not be found in us. You did not create your own life. There was a time when you were not. There was a time when all of us were not.

But the only one who has the power of life in and of Himself eternally, the power of being in and of Himself eternally, the power of motion in and of Himself eternally, is the eternal self-existent living God who is the author of life, and the author of death.

He has the keys of life and death in His hands. And if the one who creates life in the first place in His Son can call a rotting corpse like Lazarus out of the tomb, so the same author of life can call His Son who touching

His humanity is now dead and bring Him back to life. What is so hard about that to believe? It is the opposite that is impossible. If there is such a thing as life in this universe, how can you attribute to the source of life

The fountain of life, the essence of life, the impossibility of bringing Jesus back to life and bringing you back to life? Paul goes on to say in Athens. “We ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man.

The times of ignorance God overlooked, the former days.” Let me just stop here and insert something. A few minutes ago I said that the assumption of the newspaper writer is that the story of the resurrection must be a myth because resurrection is impossible.

And we know that by our sophisticated postmodern understanding of biology. And those poor people in the first century, pre-scientific, unsophisticated, people living in Palestine had no problem with the resurrection of Jesus because they saw resurrections all the time.

Every week they could go out to the cemetery and see somebody or other getting up out of a tomb. Let me tell you what folks. It was as foreign to the experience of first century man that a dead man would come out of the tomb, as it is today.

That’s why Thomas said “I’m not going to believe it just because you guys think you saw something. I’m not going to believe it unless I see the wounds, and unless I can put my finger in His hands.” And when that man showed up before Thomas and said “Here Thomas, put your fingers

In my hand. Touch me.” You know the Bible doesn’t say whether Thomas ever did. I don’t think he did. He didn’t have time to. He was on his knees. And he was saying “my Lord and my God.” No apologist was ever more sophisticated than the one who wrote “Sometimes it causes me

To tremble, were you there? Were you there when He rose up from the grave?” Sometimes it makes me shout “Glory, Glory.” You better believe glory. That’s why we’re here today folks. I hate to tell Al that it is Saturday and not Friday.

Would you believe an apologist that doesn’t even know what day it is? Somebody said it was impossible for us to make mistakes. But, here is the final point that I want you to get, the former times of ignorance God has overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent.

Because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead. There is no other sign that will be given to you except the sign of Jonah.

And if you don’t believe that sign you are in trouble because God has already set the day to judge the world. And His patience is not infinite. God as an evangelist never ever issues an invitation. That is something we do. God never invites people to receive Jesus. He commands them.

He commands all men everywhere to repent and to come to Jesus because He has proven that Jesus is the one through whom He will judge the world. How has God proven that? By raising Him from the dead. Well you say “I wasn’t there, so I can’t holler glory.

Other people God, but unless I see I’m not going to believe it. You’re going to have to send Jesus back again into my neighborhood, put Him to death again, and then raise Him for me to see. ” Too late. Too bad, He does it once for all.

And if that is not enough for you, you are in trouble. God is going to judge you by that historical act of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection, not because the alternative is grim. We believe the resurrection because of the Biblical testimony of it’s reality in time and space.

Paul ends this section by saying “Therefore” Here is the conclusion. “Be steadfast. Be steadfast. Immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for now you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” Your preaching is not in vain. Your faith is not in vain.

Your labor is not in vain because God has raised Him from the dead. And George Frederick Handel knew the only appropriate response to that was to say what? Hallelujah. Let’s pray. Father how we thank you for the testimony of scripture to the reality of resurrection

That transcends all levels of mythology and in which we find our hope and our justification. Amen

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: The Main Event in Redemptive History (Selected Scriptures)



This is just such a special Lord’s day every year, as we celebrate a risen Christ. Those of you who are with us regularly know that we have just recently completed a study of the wonderful account of Jesus written by Luke.

It was just really a few weeks ago when in finishing up our study of the gospel of Luke, we considered the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in some detail, even pulling in Matthew’s account and John’s account and Mark’s account to get a full picture.

It was at that time, you will remember, that I told you no event in history reaches the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection is the crowning event in God’s redemptive history. Resurrection is the cornerstone of Christianity. It is the foundation of the gospel. It is the guarantee of heaven.

The message of the Bible is that death does not end the existence of anyone, that every human being who has ever lived will live forever…either in hell or in heaven, either in eternal death or eternal life, either in everlasting suffering or everlasting joy.

Not merely as a disembodied spirit, but every person will live forever in bodily form. They will all be raised from the dead. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ is the provision that guarantees for us that we need not be risen to eternal damnation but can be risen to eternal life.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ bodily from death and the grave is a pledge and a promise to all who believe in Him will also be raised in bodily form to enter in to the eternal bliss and joy of the heaven of heavens in the presence of God everlastingly, serving,

Worshiping and being completely satisfied. Because the resurrection is of such significance, it dominates the New Testament, and particularly dominates the preaching of the gospel that begins early in the book of Acts and runs all the way through the whole New Testament.

The resurrection is not just a feature of Christianity, it is its essential truth. The whole point of the gospel is to rescue people from hell so that they can go to heaven. The whole point of the gospel is to be delivered from judgment into eternal blessing.

The resurrection then is not the epilogue, it’s not some kind of postscript on the end of our Lord’s life. It is the goal of His life, the high point of the gospel. The resurrection is the divine interpretation of the death of Christ, Easter interprets Good Friday.

The resurrection is the divine vindication of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, the benefits of that sacrifice begin to be gathered at the resurrection, Christ being the firstfruits. The resurrection guarantees our resurrection. And, of course, the resurrection of Christ and the bodily resurrection of believers is unique to Christianity.

There is no such thing, by the way, as a resurrection without a body, that is not a resurrection. Christianity does not teach that you live in some spirit form everlastingly in heaven, or in hell, but rather that bodily having been raised from the dead you occupy one of those two places everlastingly.

There’s no such thing as a resurrection without a body and the resurrection will be a bodily resurrection. For those of us who know the Lord, we will be raised with a body like unto His glorious body, the Apostle Paul said. The church therefore doesn’t meet on Friday. The church doesn’t meet on Saturday.

The church doesn’t meet on Monday or some other day. The church meets on Sunday, the first day of the week because that is the day Christ was raised from the dead. Every time we meet on the Lord’s day it is to give testimony to the centrality of the resurrection.

Because the resurrection is so critical to us, the resurrection seems to be always under some kind of an assault from Satan. Through the centuries, critics of Christianity have done everything they could possibly do to deny the resurrection. Denying the biblical accounts as truthful, denying historical evidences in the biblical

Accounts as having any value or trustworthiness, critics through the centuries have done everything they could to deny that Jesus rose from the dead because if that is, in fact, true or if people can be convinced that it is true, it is the death of the Christian gospel.

Likewise, Christians through the centuries have answered the critics barrage, endless barrage with evidences. And there are a myriad of those evidences that prove the validity of the resurrection. Not all attacks on the resurrection have been so overt. Many of them have been far more subtle attacks on the resurrection which may explain why

In order to celebrate the resurrection you have to hack your way through a bunch of candy, eggs and rabbits. Satan has more than one strategy, believe me, to cloud the issue. Or perhaps be confused by Lent, 40 days of deprivation to a limited degree that has nothing

To do with the Bible, is never advocated in the Bible, but is borrowed from the worst kind of paganism, which has nothing to do with anything Christian. One way or another, whether overtly or subtly, pushing the resurrection away is a very important satanic strategy because of its critical nature.

In 1 Corinthians 15 and verse 14 Paul says this, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.” Our message is empty if Christ is not raised. Your faith in that message and in Christ is also empty if Christ is not raised.

Moreover he says in verse 15, “We…meaning the Apostles…are even found to be false witnesses of God because we testified against God that He raised Christ whom He did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised.

Well of the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless, you are still in your sins and those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.” How important is the resurrection? Critically important. No resurrection, no gospel. No gospel, no salvation.

And we are the most deluded duped people on the planet. Everything is held together by the resurrection. For Christians every day is a celebration of the risen living Christ, every Sunday is another celebration of the risen living Christ. Testimonial, kind of a weekly commemoration of the priority of the resurrection, its centrality,

Its significance. And then once a year on this Easter celebration, resurrection Sunday we focus all our energies in the direction of the resurrection and rightly we should. Through the years the resurrection has been ably defended. There have been endless books written on the evidences of the resurrection.

Through the years that I’ve preached, I’ve preached many, many messages showing those evidences and answering a question…what proves the resurrection? What proves the resurrection? And that is a question that needs to be answered, but I want to ask a different question, I

Want to sort of tumble that question a little bit in your mind and ask not what proves the resurrection but what does the resurrection prove? What does the resurrection prove? Because the resurrection happened, what can we be certain of?

Number one, the truthfulness of the Word of God…the truthfulness of the Word of God. Go back to Acts chapter 2, the very text that I read to you in our Scripture reading this morning, and I want to readdress that passage because it speaks to the issue before us,

The resurrection proves the truthfulness of the Word of God. Acts chapter 2 and verse 24, God raised Jesus up again, says Peter, on the day of Pentecost, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for him to be held in its power. This is the resurrection.

And then Peter ties the resurrection into an Old Testament text, it is Psalm 16:8 through 11, in which David is the author, the writer, and he speaks concerning the Messiah. It is a Messianic Psalm. What is interesting about this Messianic Psalm is that David doesn’t speak in the third person

About the coming Messiah, but rather speaks in the first person as if the Messiah Himself is speaking. This is not abnormal, this is done in Psalm 22 and many other Messianic Psalms and other Messianic passages where literally the very words of the Messiah appear in the Old Testament prophecies.

So David is the writer but the Messiah to come is the speaker. Verse 25, the Messiah in a prophetic sense says, “I saw the Lord always in my presence for He is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken.”

The Messiah in that prophecy is confident about his security in the future. He’s confident that God is before him and that God is determining all the steps. “Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted.” Messiah can rejoice in all that He is asked to do because God is there present at His

Right hand so that He will not be shaken or moved. “Moreover, my flesh also will live in hope.” The Messiah says I know being in the flesh I will face death but my flesh lives in hope. I have hope beyond death.

“Because…verse 27…you will not abandon my soul to Hades or allow your Holy One…a very familiar title for Messiah…to undergo decay.” The confidence of the Messiah, speaking prophetically, is that God is present with Him, nothing can shake Him or move Him away from that protective power.

He can face humanity and even death in hope because He knows that God will not abandon His soul to Hades or allow Him to undergo any decay or corruption. The testimony is further, in verse 28, “You have made known to Me the ways of life, or the path of life.

You will show Me through the grave life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence. This is a prophecy of Messiah. David was the original speaker. And because it is a first person statement, somebody might think this is David talking about himself.

But David could never have been speaking of himself, his soul did go into Sheol, Hades. His flesh did see corruption. No one has ever claimed that David has risen from the dead, although in the future at the resurrection of the Old Testament saints indicated in Daniel 12:2 he will be raised from the

Dead in bodily form to join his spirit which is with the Lord. But there has been no resurrection of David up to this point. So the Psalm must be talking about someone else. Peter wants us to understand that it’s messianic.

It is a reference to Messiah, though spoken by David, they are the literal words out of the mouth of Messiah. And that’s what he says in verse 29 as he interprets the passage. “Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and

Was buried and his tomb is with us to this day.” His tomb still sealed, by the way, near Siloam in Jerusalem. Can’t be talking about him. Verse 30 then goes on to say, “And so because he was a prophet,” David was speaking as a

Prophet, “and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his descendants on His throne, he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, the Christ, that he was neither abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh suffer decay.”

David knew he was not speaking of himself, but he looked ahead and was speaking words that genuinely belonged to the Messiah. Peter’s argument is clear. Psalm 16 refers to somebody. Psalm 16 can’t refer to David. Psalm 16 refers in anticipation to one who would come from David’s loins, the one who

Would come from David’s loins is the Messiah. The Psalm refers to the Messiah, the Messiah will be raised from the dead before his body ever sees corruption. Verse 32 is the summation of its interpretation, “This Jesus God raised up again to which we are all witnesses.”

What’s at stake in the resurrection of Jesus Christ? What does the resurrection prove? It proves the trustworthiness of the Word of God, the believability of the Word of God, the accuracy of the Word of God, the truthfulness of the Word of God. Turn to Acts 13.

This becomes a staple part of apostolic preaching. In the thirteenth chapter of Acts, again the dominant cord in the apostolic preaching is the resurrection of Christ as the fulfillment of prophecy, as the fulfillment of prophecy. And in chapter 13 we move from Peter preaching on Pentecost to Paul the preacher, Acts chapter

13 and verse 29, “It carried out all that was written concerning Him, concerning the Lord Jesus, they took Him down from the cross and they laid Him in a tomb.” Verse 30, “But God raised Him from the dead and for many days He appeared to those who

Came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.” That would be all the Apostles and including 500 people in Galilee who saw Him at one time. “And we preached to you the good news, the gospel of the promise made to the fathers.

And what is the promise that God has fulfilled? This promise to our children is that He raised up…in that He raised up Jesus.” The promise of the Old Testament is a risen Messiah. The good news of the promise made to the fathers that God has fulfilled this promise to our

Children in that He raised up Jesus. And what Old Testament passage did that fulfill? It is written in the second Psalm, Psalm 2 verse 7, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You, today I have given you life.” That is an Old Testament prophecy of the resurrection.

As for the fact that He raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to decay, He has spoken in this way, “I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.” That’s from Isaiah 55 and verse 3, “I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.”

In other words, I will raise you from the dead to receive all that was promised in the Davidic Kingdom, the Davidic Covenant. By the resurrection, God was affirming Christ as His Son and guaranteeing that the promised blessings that were to come through David’s seed would come through Him. And there’s more.

Verse 35, therefore He also says in another Psalm, and Paul here uses the same one Peter did, Psalm 16, “You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.” For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay.

But He whom God raised did not undergo decay. “Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you and everyone who believes is freed from all things which you couldn’t be freed through the Law of Moses.”

The testimony of Peter on Pentecost, the testimony of Paul is the fact that the resurrection is prophesied in the Old Testament. What is at stake in the resurrection? The veracity, the integrity of Scripture. Turn again to the twenty-sixth chapter of Acts, Acts chapter 26 for another affirmation

And vindication of prophetic accuracy in Scripture. Again this is Paul talking to Agrippa, 26:22, we can pick it up there. “So having obtained help from God…he says when the Jews were trying to put him to death…I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the prophets

And Moses said was going to take place.” And what did the prophets and Moses say? This is a way to refer to the Old Testament, “That the Christ was to suffer and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead, He would be the first to proclaim light both

To the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.” The Old Testament referred to here as the prophet and Moses, spoke of the death of Messiah and His resurrection. The fact that Jesus rose from the dead means the Scripture is true.

If the resurrection didn’t happen, Scripture cannot be trusted and if it can be broken in one place, it is not trustworthy any place. Turn to John chapter 2, a prophecy of a different kind. Not an Old Testament prophecy, but a New Testament prophecy from the very lips of the Messiah

Himself, even our Lord Jesus. John chapter 2 verse 19, “Jesus answered them, ‘Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.'” And they did and He did. They killed Him and in three days He was alive again.

The Jews then said, “It took 46 years to build this temple and You will raise it up in three days? But He was speaking of the temple of His body so when He was raised from the dead, His disciples

Remembered that He said this…listen to this…and they believed the Scripture and the Word which Jesus had spoken.” Affirmation of both the Old Testament Scripture and the New Testament Scripture coming from the very lips of Jesus. As I said, you kill this body, not talking about the earthly temple, and I will raise

It in three days. He did and they believed the Scripture. That’s the first thing I want you to understand. The resurrection proves the truthfulness of Scripture. You can believe the Scripture because it predicted this just exactly as it happened. Look back to Luke 24…Luke 24 and verse 25.

We’re on the road to Emmaus, Jesus with a couple of His disciples. You remember the account. They’re distressed because Jesus has died. Verse 25, “He said to them, ‘O foolish men and slow of heart, to believe in all that the prophets have spoken.

Was it not necessary for the Messiah, the Christ, to suffer these things and to enter in to His glory.’ Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, the Old Testament, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the scriptures.”

That would be things concerning His death and things concerning His resurrection. The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 starts out giving us this summary of the gospel. “Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you which also you received

In which also you stand….here it comes…by which also you’re saved if you hold fast the Word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received,” and here’s the gospel,

“that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that He was buried and that He was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.” The resurrection proves the truthfulness of all the Scripture prophecies that the Messiah would die and rise again.

Secondly, the resurrection proves not only the trustworthiness of the Word of God but the deity of the Son of God…the deity of the Son of God. There are many affirmations in the New Testament about His deity, many witnesses to His deity.

Angels witnessed before His birth that He would be a holy child, that He would be the Son of the Most High. Demon even understood that in Mark 5:6 and 7, the demons identified Jesus as the Son of the Most High God.

In John 9 you have a man born blind who knows that Jesus is the Son of God. Peter, James and John at some point all acknowledge the deity of Jesus Christ. Thomas says, “My Lord, My God.” Nathaniel says, “You are the Son of God.” Even Martha acknowledged that.

John the Baptist, John 1:34, “I saw the…I saw and bore record…he said…that this is the Son of God.” Even a Roman soldier at the crucifixion said, “Truly this is the Son of God.” But unquestionably the supreme testimony to the fact of His deity comes from God the Father.

“This is My beloved Son,” at His baptism, “whom I’m well-pleased.” “This is My beloved Son at His transfiguration, listen to Him.” In Romans 1:4 we have a very explicit statement. Paul begins this great epistle, Romans chapter 1, “Paul, a bondservant of Christ Jesus, called

As an Apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.” And again, here comes a summation of the gospel. “This is the gospel…verse 2…which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures” Again, all the elements of the gospel were promised, prophesied in the Old Testament.

Concerning His Son who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh…then this, verse 4…who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead. It was the resurrection from the dead that was the supreme declaration of His deity.

God declared Him the Son by resurrection from the dead. You’re My Son, this day I have raised You, to paraphrase Psalm 2. Acts 13:30 says, “God raised Him from the dead.” The resurrection then is the declaration of His deity, the affirmation of His deity. His deity was affirmed at the annunciation.

His deity was affirmed in the virgin conception. His deity was affirmed in His baptism. His deity was affirmed in the most triumphant way, at His resurrection. He is the true Son of God. Remember what Peter said in Acts 2:36 that by the resurrection, He is declared to be both Lord and Christ.

He has three titles, three offices, He is a prophet. The authentication of His prophetic office came through His resurrection, proof of the validity and authority of everything He said came through His resurrection. He is a priest, He is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, no beginning and no end, an

Eternal priest who continues to live forever interceding for us. That everlasting priesthood is validated by His resurrection. He is a King. His right to rule and reign again is validated by His resurrection into which He then passes

Beyond the pale of death into life and grasps the fulfillment then of all the promises ever made to Abraham and David and in all other covenants of promise. He becomes the one alone who will rule forever for He has conquered death…prophet, priest

And King, Son of God, the deity of Christ is affirmed by His resurrection. Number three, the completion of the salvation of God. We know from the very beginning that you should call His name Jesus, the angel said, for He will save His people from their sins.

That’s why He came, the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and give His life as a ransom for many. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, we understand that.

He went to the cross to die for men’s sins, but that in itself was not the end, that in itself was not enough. I understand that there is a tremendous interest in the cross of Christ. The interest in the cross of Christ is not only for the sake of the work accomplished

There, but there is so much pathos in the event of the cross. There is so much leading up to it. There’s so much about how He was treated in His life. There’s so much about the days before His death in Jerusalem, the horrendous mockery

Of justice that was miscarried in His case, the terrible abuse that He received, the widespread rejection, all of the features of that. And then the horrible physical suffering and pain and punishment and then the agonizing unbearable experience of the cross itself. The cross, I understand, is loaded with all kinds of pathos.

It draws out of us all of our emotion, all of our passion and therefore all of our interest. And the resurrection, in a sense, doesn’t have any of that because we can identify with His suffering, we can’t identify with His resurrection yet. Suffering we understand. Pain we understand.

Sin-bearing we understand for we bear our own sin, the guilt of it and the discipline for it even in this life. Resurrection, we don’t understand. And so I think there’s a level of indifference toward the resurrection because it’s so unfamiliar to us.

But if we wanted to concentrate on the resurrection with at least equal interest as our concentration on the cross, we would be serving the biblical purpose well. For if Jesus doesn’t rise, He isn’t the prophet, He isn’t the priest, He isn’t the King promised.

If He doesn’t rise, He’s just Jesus Christ, Superstar and His death is the death of an ordinary man with no saving value. But He did die and Romans 4:25 is critical, actually verse 24 is a good place to start.

It says, “For our sake also to whom it will be credited as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.” And then this, ” He was delivered over,” that’s a technical term for being arrested, executed, meaning the cross.

“He was delivered over because of our transgressions and was raised because of our justification.” That’s why I say the resurrection brings the completion of the salvation of God. He was raised in order to assure us that in the sight of God He had satisfactorily paid the price in full for our sins.

Christ is raised from the dead to make a declaration to the whole world that He had offered a satisfactory sacrifice. He could have been raised from the dead quietly, privately and gone back to heaven with no one knowing, but it needed to be a declaration, it needed to be public.

It needed to be brought to light. It needed to be fully manifest that He was raised from the dead by the will of the Father because He had so perfectly paid in full the sacrifice for sin. His sacrifice being accepted, He is raised and exalted to the Father’s right hand and

Forgiveness of sin is therefore made available to all who believe. If you deny the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, you deny His substitutionary sacrifice for sin. Everything that comes to us in salvation, comes through the resurrection. Salvation promises us eternal life, everlasting life. He can’t give that life if He doesn’t possess it.

If He doesn’t rise, we don’t rise. If He doesn’t live, we don’t live. On the other hand, because I live, you will live also, John 14:19. The Holy Spirit who is the power of regeneration, who is the power of spiritual life, the Holy

Spirit cannot even do His work apart from the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “I cannot send the Holy Spirit until I go back to heaven and then I’ll send the Spirit. You can’t send the Spirit until He returns to glory, He can’t return to glory unless the Father exalts Him to glory.

The Father won’t exalt Him unless He has accomplished redemption on the cross, and when He did, He raised Him from the dead, seated Him at His right hand and He dispensed the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit then becomes the power in our lives as believers.

Forgiveness of sin, He is the propitiation for our sins, He is the one who paid in full and satisfied God. And now we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He has gone into His high priestly work, interceding for us at the right hand of God.

The bestowal of spiritual gifts, Ephesians 4 says, that He descended and then He ascended and gave gifts to men, all the necessary spiritual enablements and endowments, they’re all based on His resurrection. All the spiritual power that we have comes from His resurrection.

Matthew 28:18 He said, “All power has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” And then in Acts 1:80 said, “You shall receive that very power when the Spirit comes upon you.” “We are now able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think according to

The power that works in us,” Ephesians 1 says, “even the power that raised Him from the dead.” Everything we have in salvation ties back to the resurrection, even being brought in to a new relationship with God. We have literally died with Christ, Romans 6 says, in His death and risen with Christ

In His resurrection, and now we walk in newness of life. And we are no longer slaves of sin but servants of righteousness. Everything in our salvation connects to the resurrection and baptism, of course, is the beautiful picture of that death, burial, resurrection to new life because we are in Christ in His death.

What does the resurrection prove? It proves the truthfulness of the Word of God, the deity of the Son of God, the completion of the salvation of God, and fourthly, the establishment of the church of God…the establishment of the church of God.

You remember in Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, “I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it, or prevent it.” The gates of Hades is simply an expression meaning death. He said, “I’ll build My church and death won’t stop it.”

And first of all, of course, He had in mind His own death. That would have been impossible if He hadn’t risen. If He hadn’t risen from the dead, there would be no true church and we would be another false religion like every other false religion in the world.

But again, back to that wonderful first chapter of Ephesians, verse 20, it says that, “He raised Him from the dead, God did, seated Him at His right hand in heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named,

Not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in to subjection under His feet, that’s all things, and gave Him as head over all things to the church which is His body, the fullness of Him who feels all in all.”

That is just an incredibly powerful statement. By the resurrection, Jesus not only was affirmed as Lord of all things, Lord of the universe so that all rule, all authority, all power, all dominion, every name that is named in

This age and the one to come is all under Him, under His authority, but He gave Him the one who is Lord over all as head to the church. He is the head. And what do we mean by the picture of the head? The head we understand, a head has a body.

A head doesn’t function without a body. And that’s the imagery and so it says, “Head over all things to the church which is His body.” It’s incredible to think about it, folks, but the resurrection secures for Christ headship

Over His body and we become the church and we are essential as an expression of His life, as essential as a body is to a head. Listen to the words of John Calvin. This is the highest honor of the church.

“That until He is united to us, the Son of God reckons Himself in some measure imperfect.” What consolation it is for us to learn that, not until we are in His presence does He possess all His parts, or does He wish to be regarded as complete.

He’s the head, we’re the church, His body. The church brought into being, brought into existence as the completion of Christ through the resurrection. And as the living Christ has lived, moved through history, the history of the church triumphantly, so the church has moved triumphantly as well.

And Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2 that He causes us to always triumph in Christ. The church lives today despite constant attack, despite corruption, counterfeiting, the church has survived all false teachers, false representatives, all sin, all worldliness. The church, the true church, is still alive, still empowered by resurrection power.

The resurrection proves the truthfulness of the Word of God, the deity of the Son of God, the completion of the salvation of God, the establishment of the church of God. Number five, it proves the inevitability of the judgment of God…the inevitability of the judgment of God.

Turn please, for a moment, to John 5. One of the great texts in the gospels, John 5, and Jesus gives a warning here about judgment. Starting in verse 22, “For not even the Father judges anyone but He has given all judgment

To the Son so that all will honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son, doesn’t honor the Father who sent Him. The Father has committed all judgment to the Son, it is incumbent upon men then to honor the Son who will be their judge.

Verse 24, “Truly, truly I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and does not come into judgment but has passed out of death into life.

Truly, truly I say to you, an hour is coming and now is when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live, for just as the Father has life in Himself,

Even though He gave to the Son to have life in Himself and He gave Him authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice and will come forth.

Those who did the good to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil, to a resurrection of judgment.” God keeps very accurate records…very accurate records. And they’re all going to be held up on the day of judgment.

For those who have only a record of evil, they will be a part of the resurrection unto damnation. For those who have a record of good, evidences of a transformed life, they will be part of the resurrection of life. Christ is the judge. On what basis is Christ the judge?

On the basis of His resurrection. Verse 26, “Just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son to have life in Himself.” That’s the resurrection. He raised Christ to be the judge. What this text is saying is that everyone will live forever bodily, cause that’s what

A resurrection is. There will be some who will have a body fit for hell and some a body fit for heaven. For those who hear the gospel of God concerning Jesus Christ, they will receive a body suited to heaven. For those who reject the gospel, they will have a body suited for hell.

The resurrection of life, or the resurrection of judgment, He is the judge and He is given the authority to be the judge because of His resurrection. That is more specifically indicated to us in Acts 17, listen to these words.

Paul in Athens, verse 29, Acts 17, “Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man, therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance…that would be past times, what does it mean overlooked?

God overlooked in the sense that He didn’t render final special judgment on every sinner on ultimate sins. There was an overlooking. However, now God is declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent because a universal final act of special judgment is coming, verse 31, because He has fixed

A day in which He will judge the world in righteousness, through a man. What man? A man whom He has appointed. Who is that man? Having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. Special judgment, God withheld in the past.

Final judgment, God withheld in the past, but now He has fixed the day of special judgment on the world and His judge is none other than the one He raised from the dead. He has raised to be the judge.

And every person will face Him, either to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord.” Or to hear the condemnation that sends that person to hell. He’s raised to be the judge. There is no judgment if there is no risen Christ.

Finally, the resurrection proves the eternal bliss of the people of God…the eternal bliss of the people of God. In John 14, just quickly, Jesus said this, “Don’t be troubled in heart, you’re not losing Me, I go to prepare…what?…a place for you and I will come again and receive you

To Myself that where I am, there you may be also. In that place we will have a body like unto His glorified body. In that place…according to Revelation 21…there will be no tears, no sorrow, no crying and no death, the eternal bliss of heaven, purchased for us by His resurrection.”

That great fifteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians where we began this morning tells us the perishable will put on imperishable, mortal will put on immortality, death will be swallowed up in victory and we will say, “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” What’s at stake?

What does the resurrection prove? That Scripture is true. That Jesus is God. That salvation has been accomplished at the cross. That the church has been made His body. That judgment is coming for unbelievers and that heaven is being made ready for those who believe.

Father, we thank You again for the testimony of Scripture, consistent testimony as always, how it weaves together without contradiction to tell us the truth in such powerful ways. We praise You for that. Thank You for this wonderful time of celebration. Thank You that Christ lives, we live and shall live forever.

Lord, by Your power and Your grace today, draw some who are still dead in their trespasses and sins, draw them into life, draw them to Your Son. May they see Him in the beauty and the glory that a penitent sees and may they see themselves

For what they are, wretched sinners on the brink of an everlasting punishment. Rescue them, Lord, today for Your glory. And use us to spread the message that Christ is alive and because He lives, sinners can enter into life.

We thank You, Lord, that we’ve had this opportunity to worship You, we continue to do it even as we part. We give You all honor in Christ’s name. Amen.

The Resurrection of Jesus: Luke 24



We have been looking at the story of Jesus as it is told in Luke’s Gospel. It begins with the arrival of an unlikely king born in poor humble circumstances. Then we saw Jesus as a teacher-prophet. He went through out Israel calling people to a radical way of life. Where enemies become friends,

The poor are cared for, where people find forgiveness for their failures. He went from town to town, inviting people to follow him, and live under God’s reign in this upside down way. And he did many signs and wonders, so many Israelites began to hope that He would rescue Israel from the Romans

And set up a new kingdom of peace and justice. In short, that He would bring the Kingdom of God Now, the religious leaders of the day were also hoping for God’s Kingdom but to them, the message of Jesus was a threat. Yeah, they had expected to gain power

And prestige when all this went down. But Jesus said that God’s kingdom belongs to the poor, to the outsider. And the real power is serving others in love. This conflict intensified when Jesus, while in Jerusalem disrupted the temple’s sacrifices and called Israel’s leaders a gang of rebels So, they arrested Jesus

And they have him accused before the Roman authorities of being a rebel king. He was handed over for execution even though he was innocent. But then he was taken outside the city and put to death on false charges. This brings us to the final section of the Gospel of Luke

There was a religious leader named Joseph, who opposed Jesus’s execution and then requested to be given his body so he could buried Jesus in a nearby tomb. And then a couple of days later some women who had followed Jesus, came to visit that tomb and they found it open, and empty

And they encounter these mysterious figures telling them that Jesus was alive from the dead. So they ran away terrified, nobody believed their report. I mean he can’t be alive they all saw him die. Now, just outside of Jerusalem a pair of Jesus’s followers

Were leaving the city traveling on a road to a town called Emmaus. And they were sad and confused about everything that had happened. Then Jesus shows up walking along side them but they do not know it is him. Yeah, that is weird. Why could not they recognized him?

Yeah, it is odd but a really significant image for Luke. So, they are blind to Jesus for some reason, so Jesus asks them. What are you guys talking about? And they begin telling him about Jesus, a powerful prophet who they expected would rescue Israel; but it was instead executed.

Some women see him alive, which is crazy. It is all too much, we are going home. So Jesus tries to explain that this is what the Jewish scriptures had been pointing to all along. That Israel needed a King who would suffer and die as a rebel

On behalf of those who are actually rebels. And then he would be vindicated by his resurrection, so he could give true life to those who would receive it. But it still not making sense, they are as confused as ever. Which leads to the scene where they sit down for a meal with Jesus

He takes the bread, he blesses it, breaks it and gives it to them just as he did at the last supper. Yeah, this is the image of his broken body, his death on the cross And it is when they take in the broken bread

That is when their eyes are open to see Jesus then he disappears and the episode is over So this is a story about how it is hard is to see Jesus for who he really is Yes, this is brilliant, I mean How could God’s royal power and love be revealed through

This man’s shameful execution? How could a humble man become the King of world through weakness and self sacrifice? It is very hard to see. But this is the message of the Gospel of Luke. It takes a transformation of your imagination to see it and embrace Jesus’s upside down kingdom.

The Gospel of Luke ends with, Jesus and all of his disciples together over another meal and everyone is freaking out about his resurrected body. I mean he is still a human but way more. Yes, He has passed through death and come out the other side, a walking, talking, piece of new creation

And then Jesus tells them that He’s going to give them the same divine power that sustained Him so they can go out and share the Good News of God’s Kingdom with other people. After this, Luke tells us that Jesus was taken up into Heaven

Which is a cool exit and all, but why disappear into the sky? In the Old Testament, the skies are the place of God’s throne, they’re above everything so this is Luke’s way of showing that Jesus has been enthroned as the Divine King of the whole world

His followers stay in Jerusalem, worshipping God and Jesus waiting for this new power and this is where the gospel ends now Luke is going to write about how they receive this power and take the news out into the world and that’s what his second volume, The Book Of Acts, is all about.
