Eastern Heights Christian Church
Join us for Easter Sunday as we read though Matthew 28:1-15 and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Matthew 28:1-15 NIV
The EMPTY tomb of JESUS CHRIST
The empty tomb is the UNDENIABLE, IRREFUTABLE, INDISPUTABLE evidence unbelievers have to face.
“The Resurrection is God’s ‘Amen!’ to Christ’s statement, “it is finished.”
- S. Lewis Johnson
Acts 1:3 NIV
Infallible proof that Jesus has risen from the dead:
1. Jesus PREDICTED His resurrection
Matthew 16:21 NIV
2. The Resurrection is the only reasonable explanation for the EMPTY TOMB
3. The Resurrection is the only reasonable explanation for the TOTAL TRANSFORMATION of the disciples.
“The greatest proof of the Resurrection is changed lives.”
- Dwight L. Moody
4. The Resurrection is the only reasonable explanation for the GROWTH OF THE CHURCH in the face of INTENSE OPPOSITION
5. The Resurrection is the only reasonable explanation for the HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE that witnessed it.
Matthew 28:6 NIV
6. The Resurrection is the only reasonable explanation for the TRANSFORMATION of SAUL OF TARSUS into the Apostle PAUL.
1 Corinthians 15:20 NIV
John 3:16 NIV
