The Resurrection Celebration Pt 4
The Folly of Following a Dead Man / I Corinthians 15:1-19
Christianity - Victory or Vanity?
Resurrection wasn’t something Jesus hoped for. Resurrection was something Jesus planned for / prepared for! Jesus predicted 4 Major Events that came to pass within 3 days of each other.
(1) His betrayal / denial
(2) His arrest / suffering
(3) His death
(4) His resurrection -
John 2:18-22 (The Sign)
John 5:24
John 10:10 (can’t offer what you don’t possess)
John 10:17-18 (crystal clear)
John 12:25-26 (Powerful and Personal)
(5) Oh and a 5th yet to be fulfilled - His return!
I. The Evidences of Resurrection - vv. 1-4
II. The Appearances of Resurrection - vv. 5-11
III. The Consequences of No Resurrection - vv. 12-19
Jesus still dead -
Preaching is worthless -
Faith is worthless -
False witnesses -
Still in sin -
Those passed have perished -
We are to be pitied -
Christianity w/out a risen Savior is like having a car w/out an engine (it won’t move); like having a flashlight w/out a battery (can’t shine); like having wood w/out fire (doesn’t warm). Christianity w/out a risen Savior is a waste of time, a waste of energy, a wasted life. Is the resurrection a HOPE or a Hoax?
Romans 10:9-10
