Resurrection Of Christ
The Resurrection of Christ is a foundational event in Christian theology, signifying the triumph of Jesus over sin and death, and providing the assurance of eternal life for believers. According to the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels (Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20), Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion, an event witnessed by His followers. This resurrection is not merely a return to earthly life; it represents a transformation into a glorified, eternal state. The Apostle Paul emphasizes its significance in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, where he declares that through Christ's resurrection, death has been swallowed up in victory.Theologically, the Resurrection is viewed as the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Paul argues in Romans 10:9 that belief in the resurrection is essential for salvation, asserting that if one confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will be saved. This event is also seen as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and a demonstration of God's power, affirming Jesus as the Son of God (Romans 1:4). The Resurrection not only confirms Jesus' identity and mission but also serves as a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in Him, as articulated in passages like John 11:25-26, where Jesus states, "I am the resurrection and the life."

The Post Resurrection of Christ
By Leonard Ravenhill2.9K1:08:36In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit rather than relying solely on the words of the preacher. He refers to the Gospel of Matthew, specifically chapter 24, which summarizes the post-resurrection events in the life of Jesus. The preacher highlights the moment when the disciples' eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus. He also discusses the tendency for people to talk too much and not listen, especially in the fast-paced and impatient age we live in. The sermon concludes with a reminder to appreciate and not take for granted the blessings we have, while acknowledging the struggles and suffering of others around the world.
The Resurrection of Christ
By William MacDonald1.8K43:54ISA 61:3MAT 7:23MAT 25:21JHN 20:27ACT 17:301CO 15:1In this sermon, the speaker begins by reviewing a chorus from the previous week called "Tell out my soul the greatness of the Lord." The congregation sings the first verse of the chorus and practices it. The speaker then discusses how we will recognize Jesus by the marks of Calvary, such as the wounds on his hands, feet, side, and brow. He also mentions that Jesus will say "well done, thou good and faithful servant" to those who are saved, but to those who are not saved, he will say "I never knew you." The speaker then references Acts 17:30, which talks about the philosophy of life if there is no afterlife, and emphasizes the importance of Jesus' resurrection for our justification. He gives an illustration of someone being sentenced to jail but being saved by someone else's intervention.
