Resurrection Of The Dead
The concept of the "Resurrection of the Dead" in the Bible refers to the belief that those who have died will be raised back to life at the end of time. This doctrine is rooted in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, references to resurrection can be found in texts such as Daniel 12:2, which states, "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." This indicates a belief in a future resurrection and judgment.In the New Testament, the resurrection is central to Christian theology, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus Himself affirmed the resurrection, as seen in John 11:25-26, where He proclaims, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live." The Apostle Paul elaborates on this doctrine in 1 Corinthians 15, where he discusses the resurrection of Christ as the "firstfruits" of those who have died, affirming that just as Christ was raised, so too will all who are in Christ be resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:20-22). The resurrection is seen not only as a future event but also as a source of hope and assurance for believers regarding eternal life.

The Resurrection: Christ's and Ours
By J. Glyn Owen1.7K47:19JHN 20:6In this sermon, the speaker addresses the criticism that the Gospels are not factual accounts of Jesus' life and death. He argues that a careful reading of the Gospels, the book of Acts, and the Epistles reveals that they do indeed state facts and record events accurately. The speaker highlights the remarkable unanimity, accuracy, and attention to detail found in the four separate accounts of Jesus' life and death by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. He also mentions the psychological need of the disciples to reconcile the contradiction between Jesus' execution and their belief in his messianic glory. The speaker emphasizes that the disciples witnessed Jesus alive and risen from the dead, and they not only saw and touched him but also believed in him as Lord.
