Title: People Who Believe in Resurrection (2011.04.24)
Contents
1 Corinthians 15: 12-19
Now we live in a time when the truth exists but the truth is confused. Many people mistake things that are not truths for truth and believe and live. However, even those who know the true truth, there are those who do not want to believe it. In the past, the truth was not damaged and existed as the true truth itself, so it was distinguished from heresy. But now, when that lie enters the church, the church is destroyed. We are living in a time when it is very difficult to distinguish between lies and truth.
Today is Easter, and everyone shares the joy of resurrection. However, we must not only believe in the resurrection on this morning, but believe and confess the resurrection every day, 365 days a year. To believe in Jesus is to believe in the birth, suffering, and crucifixion of Jesus, and to believe in death, resurrection, ascension, and second coming. This is what it really means to say 'I believe in Jesus'. If any of you believe in the birth and death of Jesus but do not believe in the resurrection, then he does not believe in Jesus.
The resurrection of Jesus was not seen by one person. The ascension of Jesus was also seen by many. Those who saw it and heard it had no choice but to tell the story of the great event. And in the face of any power, their truth stood out. I want you to become saints who proudly proclaim the risen Jesus to the world.
The Bible speaks of the resurrection of Jesus as the “resurrection of life” and the “resurrection of eternal life.”
Saints! Do you “pray for death”? In order to face a beautiful death, we must always pray for death, not only when we are sick, but also when we are healthy. Do you want to be the protagonist of a beautiful death? Then you must believe in the resurrection.
The meaning of the Lord's resurrection means 'the beginning of God's recovery'. The beautiful world created by God has been polluted by Satan. God has a heart to restore this world. It begins with the event of the Resurrection. Where the resurrection is proclaimed, the despair of death is overturned. Don't get caught up in a sense of defeat. In life, we can fail. And you may lose your health. However, if we have the gospel in us, we will be restored from despair, pain, pain and frustration. This is what Jesus' resurrection means.
