TRUTHS CONFIRMED BY EASTER

Mark 16:1 - 8

 Who is Theudas?

 

Seeing His resurrection firsthand changed His followers' perspective on life and death and everything in between.

 

I. Resurrection Proves Jesus Is God

 

Jesus proved His claim by conquering death.

 

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

 

I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved. John 10:9

 

II. Resurrection Proves God's Power.

 

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. Galatians 3:13 NIV

 

Just as God brought His Son back from the dead, He can cause a resurrection in your life.

 

What has died in your life?

 

Easter Sunday morning teaches that no matter what happens on Friday, Sunday is coming. Nothing is beyond God's power.

 

And if the Spirit of him who raised Christ from the dead is living in you, he ... will also give life to your mortal bodies through the Spirit. Romans 8:11

 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory..."  Ephesians 3:20-21

 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

 

III. Resurrection Proves Forgiveness Is Available

 

Go tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you into Galilee..." (v. 7)

 

The angel mentioned Peter specifically for us to know that God desires to fully restore this fallen disciple.

 

But whoever denies me before others, I will also deny before my Father in heaven." Matthew 10:33 NRSV

 

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

 

He has the power and love to wipe away your sins forever and welcome you into His arms.
