The Resurrection

THE RESURRECTION

Those three words “He is Risen”
Gives hope to a world, all is forgiven
Some call it a mystery, I call it history
It is the greatest of all victories

It is written, the proof is there
Appearing to hundreds, witnesses declared

Jesus was sent to complete a mission
A mission of love, a mission of mercy
To die a death by crucifixion
Lord, help me to live a life that is worthy

The Crucifixion, the Resurrection
It opened the way into God’s Kingdom

“I am the Resurrection and the Life”

He is my Savior
He is alive

COMMENT ON THE RESURRECTION

As I was fumbling around trying to decide if there really
was this all powerful God, one thing brought
me to attention. The disciples. They were surprised.
Even though Jesus had told them, they were surprised.

It caused them their death. They were human like you
and me. They were tortured, they were martyred. That
made me take another hard look at the evidence.

After the resurrection the scared disciples that were
hiding behind closed doors, came out completely
changed. They finally knew the truth.

The resurrection is the foundation of Christianity. It
was foretold hundreds of years before He was born.
If I don’t believe in the resurrection, I don’t believe
in God. The Bible says, He created the universe,
He created life. If not God,who did?

I am sure that He who created life, created the universe,
has the power to resurrect.

The resurrection proved who Jesus was. If we listen and
look the proof is all around us. The Holy Spirit has
changed millions of lives.

John 11:25
“I am the resurrection and the life.
The one who believes in me will
live even though they die.”

The Cross

THE CROSS

Jesus was the son of God
He was also one of us
He felt the same pain and sorrow
That anyone of us does

The thought of what Jesus went through
Makes my heart burn and ache
What He went through for me and you
The strength and love it had to take

He could have said “enough” at any time
Legions of angels would have come
To put a stop to such a crime–
Then the devil would have won

Jesus died upon that cross
It seemed like such a terrible loss
Not even the apostles knew
That Jesus was not yet through

The Resurrection was the proof
What He had told them was the truth
He had arisen, He was alive

O death, where is your victory?
O death where is your sting?

COMMENT ON THE CROSS

The cross represents Jesus’ victory over sin and death.
It is the greatest symbol that Christianity has.

Jesus could have avoided his death but He knew why He
had come into the world.

We had to have both, the cross and the resurrection.
The cross cleansed us of our sins, The resurrection
gave us eternal life.

He had to be sinless, the lamb of God. It was a
spiritual transaction. The human race sinned, it
had to be a sinless human who paid the penalty for
our sins.

Someday I hope to understand the spiritual warfare
that is still going on today. Someday I will fully
understand what a great price Jesus paid for me and
how much love He had for me.

On the cross Jesus became the sacrifice for my sins,
He did what I could not do for myself. Because of Him
I have eternal life.

Because he was resurrected I know that God accepted
the sacrifice. I was guilty, now I am free.

Thank you for the cross, Lord.

Philippians 2:8
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross
