        --1 Corinthians 15:17

Resurrection is not coming bck to life, that is revivification.

Resurrection is no reincarnation.

Hebrews 9:27

Resurrection is coming back to life and gaining eternal life in the reuniting of body and soul.

Did Jesus rise?

        His resurrection was predicted:

                  --Isaiah 53:8-12

        Jesus Predicted his resurrection:

                  --Matthew 12:38-40

        Jesus died

                  --John 19:34-35

        Jesus was buried

                  --Matthew 27:57-60

        Jesus was resurrected physically alive

                  --Luke 24:36-43

        Jesus had the same body, just glorified

                  --Luke 24:31

        Jesus resurrection is recorded soon after it occurred

                  --Mark 14:53

        Jesus own family began to worhip Him as God

                  --John 7:5; Acts 21:18

God is life

1 Corinthians 15

        Christ is the first (20)

        Jesus acts as the second Adam (22)

        God destroys the last enemy (26, 56)

        The resurrection defines your purpose in life (32)

        So stand firm (58)

        Give yourself fully to God’s work (58)

        Don’t ever think you labor in vain (58)

God has power over death

God holds the future

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives all fear is gone. Because I know who holds the future. And life is worth the living just because he lives.

Long my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature’s night. Mine eye diffused a quickening ray, I rose the dungeon filled with light. My chains fell off, my heart was free. I rose went fortah and followed thee.

Life sems mind with dangers and their seems no safety is to be had.

The resurrection helps you find that God is control of the journey and guarantees your destination.
