Good morning,
Passover is on 15 April and Resurrection Sunday is on 17 April.
This week we look at Christ’s death, burial, resurrection, and post resurrection happenings.
Jesus tells the Disciples to Go and Teach ALL Nations (Matthew 28:18-20)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The Resurrection Changes Everything (1 Corinthians 15:3-6, 13-18)
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how 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 of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
ACTION POINTS:
- Serve Christ as did Joseph and Nicodemus
- Seek Jesus as did Mary Magdalene
- Worship and fear Jesus as did the women and disciples
- Witness for Jesus as He commanded
- Teach others God’s word as he commanded
- Without the Resurrection your faith is in vain
- REMEMBER: Jesus is always with you
