Resurrection Sunday

March 31, 2002

John 19:28-20:9

Today we study about the Greatest Event in the history of

the world, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,

the Savior of the world.

I don’t understand it but I believe it. I want the attitude of

the patriarch, Abraham, of whom Paul said in Romans 4:20-22

“He staggered not at the promise of God through

unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to

God; and being fully persuaded that, what He

had promised, He was able also to perform. And

therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness”

I confess the atttitude of Job 19:25-27:

“For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He

shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and

though after my skin worms destroy this body,

yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see

for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not

another; though my reins be consumned within me”

For the Bible says “if in this life only we have hope in Christ,

we are of all men most miserable” I Cor. 15:19

Has not Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life, he that

believeth in me though he were dead, yet

shall he live” John 11:25

We pick up with the end of the crucifixion of Christ in

John 19:28 filling up the prophetic picture in

Psalm 69:17-21 Psalm 22:14-19

These passages the most quoted in New Testament

Hebrews 5:7-9
