The resurrection of Jesus is mentioned
More than a hundred times in New Testament
The resurrection represents the LOVE of GOD the FATHER

The tomb was empty
The absence of Jesus’ body
Presented His enemies with a problem—
No corpse could be found
Jesus of Nazareth rose from the Dead

The death of Jesus was a common way to die in Rome
Many criminals and escaped slaves were
Executed in this barbaric and public manner (the Cross)
However, none of these criminals came back from the dead
Jesus was not a criminal—He was the Saviour of the world

The death of Jesus is unique because of His Resurrection
No other leader came back from the dead and
We as citizens of Heaven rose up with Him
We are seated with Him in Heavenly Places and
We live our life in His Resurrection Power

Many are trying to discredit the Resurrection because that
Aspect of His life makes Him Unique—
The Resurrection makes all the difference in our lives
We can now overcome any situation because of His Power
Jesus has given us the same power to live this life on earth so that
When we go through the same stuff that many people will go through—
We will come through it because of His Resurrection Power

Jesus atoned for our sins on the Cross
Many thought that He would remain in the Tomb
Many thought that His Name would just pass by but
God raised Him from the grave

The tomb was empty
The absence of Jesus’ body
Presented His enemies with a problem—
No corpse could be found
Jesus of Nazareth rose from the Dead
