Conquered Death ~
Introduction ~ The most
important fundamentals of Christianity include beliefs about the birth of
Jesus, His sinless life, His death, His burial, and His resurrection.
In
this series we look at ten facts about Jesus Christ.
Scripture
~
“Now on the first day of the week, very
early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb
bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from
the tomb. Then they went in and did
not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly
perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their
faces to the earth, they said to them, ‘Why do you seek the living among the
dead? He is not here, but is risen!
Remember how He spoke to you when He was
still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’
“And
they remembered His words. Then they
returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the
rest. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna,
Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things
to the apostles. And their words seemed
to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and
stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed,
marveling to himself at what had happened” (Luke 24:1-12).
“For I
delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for
our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose
again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by
Cephas, then by the twelve. After that
He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part
remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by
all the apostles. Then last of all He
was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).
Note: Jesus is
alive today and forever more.
