The Resurrection of the Son of Man 

(Lk24:1-17, 36“49) 



God lives for ever and ever (Rev4:10). 

He was before, He is now and 

He always will be (Rev4:8). 



Faith is believing Him and longing for Him. 

The life of faith is becoming His witnesses. 



If a dead man comes back to life in a body that never dies, 

Such news would be the most shocking event in the history of mankind for 

Science cannot raise to life the cells that have already perished and died. 



As such, if the resurrection of Jesus in the Bible was an actual, historical fact, 

Then, the history of mankind must change as a result for 

Believers will resurrect like Him (Jn11:25-26). 



God revealed His living existence through 

All things He created (Rm1:19-20). 



However, Adam, the ancestor of mankind, was deceived by the devil and 

Sinned, wanting to be like God, for which 

The spirit of all men died (Ge2:17, 3:4-6). 



The father of faith, Abraham, gave his only son as a burnt offering because 

He believed that the God who gave him a son 

When his body was as good as dead at the age of 100 could 

Surely raise his son from the dead (Rm4:19). 



To his offspring Moses, God introduced Himself as "I AM THAT I AM, since 

Though Abraham was, Isaac was and Jacob was, they all died (Ex3:6, 14). 

God, however, always is. 



Before the Testimony inside the Most Holy Place, the place of meeting with God, 

The staff of the chosen budded (Nu17:4-5), 

While the dead that touched 

The body of the man of God, the prophet, was raised to life (1Ki17:21-22) as 

They were all signs of God raising His chosen among the dead in the future. 



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

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

He would give to all men the resurrected body that would never die (1Co15:52), for 

He is the incarnate Word from the beginning (Jn1:1, 14), 

The God who is before Abraham was born (Jn8:58) who 

Called out from the tomb Lazarus who had been dead for days (Jn11:39). 



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

1. Laid down His life according to the Father's command to received it again, and put to death the flesh of man (Jn10:17-18);

2. Condemned the ruler of death, the devil (He2:14; 1Jn3:8); and

3. With His blood redeemed all men's sin and sowed in them the seed of life (Lev17:11; 1Pe1:23).



The Father raised Him among the dead and 

Jesus became the first fruit of resurrection (1Co15:20), 

The resurrection of the spiritual body that has flesh and bone, 

Yet transcends space, the body that lives forever (Lk24:36-39). 



The Holy Spirit, the Spirit who gives life (Rm8:2), 

Testifies that Jesus lives and is seated on the throne (Ac5:30-32). 



The man of the Spirit is he who has 

Completely changed the direction of his life 

Because of the greatest, the most shocking event of the entire history of mankind, 

That overturns all values and meanings in life - the resurrection of the Son of Man. 

Therefore, in order to participate in the resurrection of life 

He risks his life in becoming a witness of resurrection (Php3:11). 



O Lord, 

As wheat buds from the frozen soil and sprouts come out of all branches 

When spring comes, 

Let us all be raised to life 

When the Lord of life Jesus Christ returns! 

Amen.
