Resurrection is Truth

(Lk24:36-43; 1Co15:12-19)



God is the God of truth (Ps31:5).

Truth comes from Him, and

He rules with truth.



Faith is knowing Him, and

The life of this faith is putting every effort to adapt and apply the truth to one's life.



Truth refers to the unchanging principle.

All forms of science, academics and religions have ceaselessly investigated it.

While men cannot make even one principle,

They have discovered, proved, adapted and applied it,

Thus improving culture and civilization.

Yet before the truth, "all men die

They can only comply.



The Bible clearly records about this, its cause and solution.

This is because what came to be will certainly disappear (Ge1; 2Pe3:7) as

This is God's principle of the creation.



God made man from the dust of the ground and

Breathed into him the breath of life, making him a living being, Adam (Ge2:7).

Subsequently it became a principle that,

His flesh returns to dust while his spirit returns to God (Ge3:19).



However, deceived by the serpent Adam sinned (Ge3:6), and

Sin entered all men (Rm5:12; 1Co15:22) and

After death to face judgment (He9:27).



God gave the Law to Israel and

It came to be known as "the law of sin and death (Rm8:2) for

No one could escape such (He9:27).



And the sanctuary where

There were the stone tablets insides the Testimony

Reminded them about this law.



Jesus came and said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days (Jn2:19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would tear down the law of sin and death and establish a new law, for

He is the resurrection and the life, the truth (Jn11:25, 14:6)

Calling out the dead from the tomb.



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:

1)     Revealed that the Father's law is truth, by fulfilling the principle of creation, the flesh, dying once (Ps119:142; Jn17:17);

2)     Condemned the devil, the father of lies (Ge3:4; Jn8:44; 1Jn3:8); and

3)     Redeemed the sins of men and sprinkled His blood, the seed of life, on them (Eph1:7; 1Pe1:19, 23; Jn1:4).



He rose on the third day after His death and it is the truth.

He is not a created man but

The incarnate Word who was in the beginning ” that is

The God of truth (Jn1:1-4, 14; He1:2; 1Jn1:1).



The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (Jn14:16, 16:13) who

Leads those who believe that Jesus is the life, the resurrection and the truth (Jn11:25, 14:6)

Not to hell through the resurrection to condemnation

But to eternal life through the resurrection to life (Jn5:29; Rev20:13-14).



Therefore the man of the Spirit makes

The first resurrection at the return of the Lord Jesus as his goal (1Co15:22-23) and

Presses on to become like Christ in His death (Php3:10).



O Lord,

What if there was no principle of resurrection?

What if our Lord Jesus did not resurrect?

What would we have become? In total despair!

But that is not true ” You resurrected!

Resurrection is the truth! Amen.
