A Truly Remarkable Day!

Could it be that Jesus Christ was really raised from the dead? That question has been debated for over 2000 years now.  Over that time those who do not believe in Christ have never been able to come up with a convincing argument that even comes close to proving that He was not raised from the dead.  On the other hand as Christians we have many convincing arguments which clearly prove that our Savior was raised from the dead.

1. Jesus had foretold of His resurrection.  Mark 9:9, 10
2. The Old Testament had prophesied of His resurrection. Psalm 16:10
3. The tomb was empty and the death garments folded.
4. Over 500 people saw Him alive after his death on the cross.
5. The lives of the apostles were radically changed and they in turn changed the world.
6. Lives are still being changed by the powerful message of Jesus Christ.

Sometime this weekend text a friend with this simple message.  "He was raised from the grave! He is alive!" and invite the to come to worship with us Sunday morning.

The Closing Prayer

The Last Supper is over. Jesus has finished washing the apostles' feet. He has encouraged them by explaining that their hearts do not need to be troubled. He will show them the way to heaven where a home is prepared for them. He has encouraged them to stay close to Him. If they abide in Him He will be like a vine that provides nourishment to them each day. He has promised them the Holy Spirit to lead them during the dark days ahead and to lead them to all truth. He has warned them about falling away and let them know that if they stay faithful their joy will be complete. He has assured them that He will overcome the world.
