Scripture references: Mark 16:1-6, 7, & 1 Corinthians 2:6-13

To resurrect means to come alive to God.

Power of the cross & power of resurrection, “It changes us Forever.”

Never the Same Again!

There is a power of God that can change you radically!

Paul said, “If Jesus did not rise from the dead our preaching is in vain!”
If Jesus is not raised from the dead, christianity is a fraud & a joke!
If He did He’s the full manifestation of God! He must be the center of life!

The Resurrection it’s REAL & STRANGE & DECISIVE

4 Truths/Lessons of Resurrection

1. This world is not it! But, we are here.

The non lastingness of this world.
- Everything in this world is passing, it is not lasting! (It Comes & Goes)
What’s our span 70 or 80 years or a little longer.
This world is not all there is!
This earth shall pass away, but His word does not pass away!

2. The tyrants know their time is up!

The wicked always think they have won.
The tyrants & the wicked don’t have the final word. Jesus is the Alpha & Omega.
The cross was the tyrant's way of staying in control.
Tyrants fear death!
1st christians had nothing but love & boldness
The cross was Rome's way of asserting its authority!

3. The path of salvation & resurrecting is open to anybody!

4. The best is yet to come.

Resurrection is the ingathering of all the people He has called unto Himself.
The Father sent the Son & He gathered everyone by the resurrection into the Holy Spirit.

We are truly spiritual at our core. We combine spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

“If that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you it will quicken your mortal bodies.”

If God's love is more powerful than the worst the enemy can throw at us WE WIN!
