16. The Significance of Easter

the Jesus on the 3rd
day of his death after his
death via crucifixion as documented in the
New Testament.
17. The Significance of Easter
1 Cor 15, 14
And if Christ is not risen, then our
preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.
15
Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God,
because we have testified of God that He raised up
Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead
do not rise.16
For if the dead do not rise, then Christ
is not risen. 17
And if Christ is not risen, your faith is
futile; you are still in your sins! 18
Then also those who
have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19
If in this
life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the
most pitiable.

25. The pyramids of Egypt are famous because they
contain the mummified bodies of ancient Egyptian
kings. Westminster Abbey is noted because within its
walls there are contained the remains of many nobles
and notables. Muhammad’s tomb is visited because
of the stone coffin and the bones there. Arlington
National Cemetery in Washington, D. C. is revered
because it is a resting place for many outstanding
Americans. But, the Garden Tomb of Jesus is famous
because it is empty!

30. “After more than 700 hours of studying this subject,
I have come to the conclusion that the resurrection of
Jesus Christ is either one of the most wicked, vicious,
heartless hoaxes ever foisted on the minds of human
beings--or it is the most remarkable fact of history.”
"For a very simple reason," I answered. "I am not able
to explain away an event in history--the resurrection of
Jesus Christ." – Josh McDowell
31. 15Moreover, 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.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, 5
and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the
twelve. 6
After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren
at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but
some have fallen asleep. 7
After that He was seen by James,
then by all the apostles. 8
Then last of all He was seen by me
also, as by one born out of due time.
32. Why His Resurrection is such a GAME CHANGER
to life
Rom 6, 5
For if we have been united together in the likeness of
His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His
resurrection, 6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with
Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we
should no longer be slaves of sin. 7
For he who has died has
been freed from sin. 8
Now if we died with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with Him,9
knowing that Christ, having
been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has
dominion over Him
36. 2. Christ conquered Death
a. Its fear
b. Its fate
c. Its force
Conclusion: We have eternal life
37. 2 Changes
•Change From
•Change To
1 Peter 2:24, who Himself bore our sins in His
own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins,
might live for righteousness—by whose stripes
you were healed.
