Hallelujah! Today is the blessed Sunday to praise and glorify the Lord who has risen from the dead. flag of resurrection
I pray in the name of the Lord that joy may fill your home and the whole world.
In today's text, after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome came to Jesus.
I bought spices for anointing, and then ran to the tomb at sunrise very early on the first day after the Sabbath.
They feared, "Who will roll the stone from the door of the tomb for us?" because the stone in the tomb was very large.
I went while But when they reached the tomb, they lifted up their eyes and saw what was the matter? Has the stone already been rolled?
All.
So they quickly went into the tomb and saw a young man in a white robe sitting at the right hand of Jesus.
They couldn't help but be terribly surprised. The young man said, "Do not be alarmed, because you have been crucified.
You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who is healed. He is risen, and he is not here. Behold, the place where you put him.
He said to his disciples and to Peter, Jesus is going before you into Galilee, the
Just say, 'I will see you there.'"
It was so shocking that the women were so startled and trembling that they ran out of the tomb and were afraid.
He was unable to speak (Mark 16:1F).
1. Evidence of the Resurrection
The fact that Jesus rose from the dead is truly a remarkable event and a shocking fact.
All. It was a huge miracle event.
The resurrection of Jesus first confirms this by the empty tomb of Jesus. Jesus' tomb is the entrance
It was sealed with a large tomb, and Roman soldiers guarded the tomb in several layers, so as some say, Jesus
It is very difficult for anyone to steal your body.
It's not like you passed out and then you came back. When a Roman soldier pierced Jesus' side with a spear, he was given water and blood.
It was all poured out, so death was confirmed. No water comes out unless you are physiologically dead. yes
So Jesus obviously died and rose again.
This resurrection event has been prophesied since the time of the Old Testament. In Psalm 16:10, it says, “This is my soul,
For you will not forsake it in Hades, nor will you cause your Holy One to perish.”
Even Jesus himself was alive and while he was still alive, Matthew 16:21 clearly prophesied. "From that time forward to Jesus Christ
So he went up to Jerusalem and suffered many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and was killed,
He began to teach his disciples that they must rise on the third day.”
The events of the Resurrection were witnessed by the authors of the four Gospels, and many people have actually seen and experienced them.
Moreover, the fact that many of Jesus' disciples and followers of Jesus died immortal and testified proves this.
are doing The fact that Rome was converted to a Christian state also proves this.
2. The Power of Resurrection
All people fear death. Everyone has fear and fear in the face of death,
We do everything we can to get rid of it. However, in the end, he could not overcome death and
It is a fragile human being who has no choice but to face death.
But Jesus' disciples were not afraid of death. Why weren't you afraid of death? death
What could be the cause of not being afraid?
They were not afraid to fry and kill them in an oil kiln. Even if I kill it with a saw, even if I cut a limb to death,
Even if they become food for lions, even if they burn them to death... they are not afraid of death, but rather boldly give it to them.
They were praising the Lord, witnessing the Lord, and facing death.
What gave them the courage to fear death?
Because Jesus was resurrected. Because Jesus is resurrected, he is the Son of God,
Because I have come to believe that He is the Messiah. Because the faith of the resurrection was in their hearts, they
There was no difficulty (Matthew 27:54, John 1:34, John 11:27, John 20:31). Nothing can stop their boldness

I did.
The resurrected Jesus appeared to many people after that. cast out seven demons
He appeared to Mary Magdalene, whom he had given (John 20:18), and appeared to two disciples who were on their way to Emmaus in great despair
(Luke 24:13F).
He appeared to Peter (John 21:15F) and also appeared to Thomas, the suspicious disciple, and touched his hands and feet.
He knew that he was and showed him (John 20:25).
He appeared to James (Matthew 27:56), to the seven disciples, to the 11 apostles (John 20:26-29), to Paul, and to others.
He appeared to his disciples and many more than five hundred people (1 Corinthians 15:6, Matthew 28:16-20).
I believe that the resurrected Jesus will appear to us today as well and will give us peace, strength, and strength.

Then John Wanamaker said, "I pay homage to Confucianism with my heart, but any religion is Christian.
It is not the same as school. There is a fundamental difference, the difference is that Jesus Christ died but was resurrected.
is. His death was the fulfillment of prophecy and he rose again, so his tomb is empty, and he is still alive today and is in charge of history.
It is said that he wept with emotion as he explained the event of the redemption of Jesus Christ.
3. The Mission of the Gospel of Resurrection
After the resurrection, the Lord remained in the world for another 40 days and appeared to many people to testify of the resurrection.
(Acts 1:3). Therefore, Christianity is a 'religion of resurrection through the cross' rather than a 'religion of the cross'.
In John 14:16-20, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, and he will be with you forever.
He will be with you, for he is the Spirit of truth, and the world cannot receive him, for it has neither seen him nor knows him.
But you know him, because he dwells with you and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while the world will see me no more.
And ye shall see me, for I live and ye shall live; in that day I will
And you will know that I am in you.”
