power of christ's resurrection

The Power of CHRIST’S RESURRECTION

HE IS RISEN INDEED!

HE IS RISEN!

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

I Corinthians 15:1-4

3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

I Corinthians 15:1-4

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Philippians 3:10

What is the Gospel?

1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

Romans 1:1-4

3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

Romans 1:1-4

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

Romans 1:16

1) The Christ, the Son of God (Matt. 1:16-20)16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ… 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus claims to be GodIf His Claims Were TRUE

2 Alternatives

He is LORD & GOD

You can ACCEPT Him You can REJECT Him

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.”

“You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that option open to us. He did not intend to.”

C. S. Lewis


2) Sent by God (John 8:42)

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

3) One with the Father (John 10:30)

“I and My Father are one.”


4) Equal to the Father in honor (John 5:22-23)

22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.


The Resurrection of Jesus Christ VALIDATES HIS CLAIMS THAT HE IS…

5) Able to forgive sins (Matt 9:2-6)2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.” 3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”

5) Able to forgive sins (Matt 9:2-6)

4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? 6

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”


6) Lord of the temple (John 2:14-22)14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business…. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”


6) Lord of the temple (John 2:14-22)17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” 18 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?” 19 Jesus answered and said to them,


6) Lord of the temple (John 2:14-22)“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body.


6) Lord of the temple (John 2:14-22)22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.


1) The Christ, the Son of God

2) Sent by God

3) One with the Father

4) Equal to the Father in honor

5) Able to forgive sins

6) Lord of the temple
