Title - The Greatest Man Alive Today
Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:12-20
Everyone is dead, and great countries are gone. But only Christ, who was crucified, was resurrected and is still working among us.
Those of us who believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior today will follow the same path as Jesus. If the Lord returns while we are alive, we will not experience death and will be lifted up in the air. If the Lord returns after we die, our souls will first go up to heaven, and our bodies in the grave will be revived and our souls will be lifted up in the air. It will be combined with the completion of salvation.
Illustration - Origin of Easter Egg Painting
The custom of giving and receiving Easter eggs is said to have begun during the Crusades in Europe.
After her husband went to war, Mrs. Rosalind lost her property by bad people and lived in a mountainous neighborhood, but she lived with the kindness of the locals. In return for this kindness, the wife distributed beautifully colored eggs around Easter. And on the egg, the motto of the Rosarynd family, 'Let's believe in God's love', was written.
1. Evidence of Resurrection
After Jesus died, the disciples fell into loneliness and sorrow, forgetting the hope of the kingdom of heaven, evangelism, and their offices. But on the third day, Jesus rose from the tomb, met his disciples, and ate and talked with them.
1) We know that Jesus rose from the dead because he had the power to overcome death.
John 10:18 says, "I have power to lay down my life, and I have power to take it again." Jesus has the power to overcome death. Because he is the Creator God.
2) I know that he rose from the dead because there were many witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus.
The disciples saw that Jesus was alive and were transformed into a new person. Previously they were cowards ( run away, ma'am). Now they boldly preached Christ and laid down their lives for Jesus. A dead person cannot accomplish this kind of history.
3) We know that Jesus Christ rose from the dead because of the supreme position given to resurrection in the Bible.
The New Testament mentions the resurrection more than 100 times. The apostles' message is centered on the fact that Christ lives. Without the resurrection of Jesus, it cannot be the gospel.
4) We know that Christ rose from the dead because of his power over the world.
Hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, and various charities and institutions were brought into existence because of the influence of Jesus Christ. Where there is no knowledge of Christ, there are none of these.
Because Christ lives, we give a lot of money for missionary work and almsgiving.
The Sabbath is kept to commemorate the day the creation is completed, and the Sunday is the day to commemorate the resurrection of the Lord.
Illustrated - God made it through
Ms. Coritenboom of the Netherlands is a woman who experienced walking with the risen Lord while living in a living hell in a Nazi concentration camp and evangelizes around the earth with the Lord after liberation.
He entered the Soviet Union with a lot of Bibles in two trunks, knowing that if found at customs, of course, would be confiscated.
I was just praying in the back row, and my turn finally came.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed around the trunks, and the customs officer said, "This is Grandma's luggage. It's pretty heavy. I’ll pick it up for you.” He even picked up a taxi without opening it.
God had cleared that burden.
2. The Resurrection Benefits Us
1) We need a living Savior to save us.
Only the living Jesus can save us from the bog of sin. We are all sinners, regardless of age or sex, rich or poor, ignorant or ignorant. For us, Christ is our only hope.
Those who face death will realize the most sublime things of life. That sublime, precious thing is the living Christ.
2) We need the living Christ when we are in sorrow.
Christ is the One who can comfort our sorrows at any time. We have a living Savior who comforts us in times of sorrow.
3) We need a living Savior to answer our prayers.
It's a pity that someone didn't tell me that Jesus was such an amazing person.
If we pray (and speak to our living Savior day by day) we will soon see how wonderful He is.
4) We need a living Savior to guide us in our choices.
We must turn our eyes away from ourselves to Jesus and to the needs of others. Then we will make the right choices and our lives will be changed.
5) We need a living Savior to take us to heaven.
Let's remember the words of Jesus, "I am going to prepare a place for you." Heaven is a reserved place for those who are prepared.
Do you remember when you accepted Jesus as your Savior? The living Savior saved us.
Do you remember when you were in sorrow? The living Savior comforted me.
Do you remember a time when you were faced with a major choice? The living Savior has guided us worthily.
Death can conquer our bodies, but the grave can hold our bodies for a while. But when Jesus returns one day, our bodies will be lifted up in glory. And you will live with Christ forever and enjoy everlasting freedom. Today, on Easter, let's all give thanks to God for giving us a living Savior who will save us and lead us to heaven. And I ask you to become believers who are determined to be more loyal to our Savior than ever before.
