1 Corinthians 15:17

Only a risen Savior can save a dying world!

Scholars tell us that there is more evidence that Jesus came out of the grave than that Julius Caesar lived.

The Benefits of the Cross

1.      My Past is Forgiven.

Matthew 26:28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and His people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. (NLT)

1 John 1:7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, hi son, cleanse us from all sin. (NLT)

We identify with Christ.

We have been freed from the Law.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.

We live by His Spirit and Grace.

2. Our Future is Secure.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

3. Faith For Our Present.

Our present can be made new.

A.    Jesus gives peace today..

John 20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembles, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be with you.

B. He gives purpose.

John 20:21 So Jesus said to the again, As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.

C. He gives power.

John 20:22 He breathed on them, and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit.

This was the third time Jesus showed Himself.

John 21:14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

So whatever you need—

breakthrough, healing, provision, change—

It’s not found in a method…

It’s found in a man.

And His name is Jesus.
