The Inspiring Message of The Resurrection

Luke 24:1-9

Luke 24:1-91 Now upon the first day of the week,

very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the

spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed

down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, .

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered his words,9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven,

and to all the rest

Why should the resurrection inspire

us?

Introduction

• Our Lord rose from the dead. • That amazing fact should directly

impact our daily lives. • Instead of living for ourselves, we

should focus on Jesus and passionately tell others about the gift of eternal life.

1. Jesus is Alive.

He is seated at the right hand of God the Father. Christianity is unlike any other faith because

He rose from the dead. His Spirit lives inside each believer.

He guides, strengthens, heals and cares for us; He provides for us, and listens to our prayers.

2. We are Forgiven and Eternally Secure.

• Only Christ's death on the cross can pay for humanity's sin. Our faith differs from other religions because salvation rests on what Jesus did for us, not our good works or self-denial.

• The moment we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we become children of God—forever.

• We confess our sins, not to maintain our salvation, but to stay in fellowship with Him.– 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he

is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”

3. We Will Live Forever.

Believers will enjoy everlasting life in the kingdom of God.

While people who don't know Christ will also exist forever, they will be eternally tormented in hell.

For the believer, physical death is simply a door into eternal life. That's why memorial services for

believers can be joyous occasions.

4. For Christians, there is a Resurrection Unto

Life. • Our bodies will be changed from

perishable to imperishable – 1 Cor. 15:50-54 – Phil. 3:20-21– 1 John 3:1-2

• In substance, our bodies will be like the Jesus' resurrected body—not limited by time, space, or matter.

5. Heaven will be our eternal home.

• The earth will be completely transformed into part of God's heavenly kingdom. – We will serve the Lord forever, ruling

with Him.

• Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. • John 14:1-2 “Let not your heart be troubled:

ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you ”

• At the rapture, believers who are still living will be caught up in the air with Christians who have died 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13 mga kautoran luyag namon nga mahibaluan ninyo ang kamatuoran nahanungod sa mga nagkalamatay, agod nga indi kamo magkasubo

subong sang iban nga wala sing paglaom

14 nagatuo kita nga si Jesus napatay kag nabanhaw (buhi nga

pahlaum). Gani nagatuo man kita nga pagadalhon sang Dios upod kay Jesus ang tanan nga nagkalamatay

nga nagatuo sa iya

15 amo ini ang pagtulonan sang Guinoo nga amon gina sugid sa inyo: kita nga mga buhi pa sa adlaw sang pah-abot sang Guinoo, indi mag-una

sa ila nga mga nagkalamatay na.

16 kay sa singgit sang pagmando sa tingog sang arkangel kag sa tunog

sang trumpeta sang dios, ang Guinoo gid mapapanaog gikan sa

langit. Ang tanan nga nagkalamatay nga nagatuo kay Cristo

pagabanhawon sing una.

17 dayon kita nga mga buhi pa sa sadto nga tion pagatipunon

upod sa ila sa mga panganod sa pagsugata sa Guinoo sa kahawaan. Ti manginkaupod kita sa Ginoo sing

dayon.

18 Gani maglinipayay kamo sa sini nga mga pulong.

• We will live in heaven with our saved loved ones.

• We can't truly understand how wonderful heaven will be. It's beyond our earthly comprehension.

6. We Can Face Tomorrow Because Jesus Is Risen From

The Grave.

• Heb. 13:5– Jesus said, "I will never leave you nor

forsake you"

• Because Christ is with us, we can face trials with confidence.

a. We have the assurance that our high priest

sympathizes with our weaknesses Heb. 4:15-16

“ Ang aton PINAKAMATAAS NGA PARI nagabatyag man sang aton mga kaluyahon, kay siya man ginsulay sa tanan

nga bagay pareho sa aton, pero wala siya nagpakasala. GANI INDI KITA MAGKAHADLOK SA PAGPALAPIT SA TRONO SANG DIOS. Sa diin yara ang grasya nga makabulig sa tion

nga ginakinahanglan naton ini. ”

Hebrews 4:15-16

“Ang aton PINAKAMATAAS NGA PARI nagabatyag man sang aton mga

kaluyahon, kay siya man ginsulay sa tanan nga bagay pareho sa aton, pero wala siya nagpakasala. GANI INDI KITA

MAGKAHADLOK SA PAGPALAPIT SA TRONO SANG DIOS. Sa diin yara ang grasya nga makabulig sa tion nga ginakinahanglan

naton ini.”
