1. Jesus: The Prophet

2. Jesus: The Priest

3. Jesus: The King

1. Jesus is eternally risen. (God's final Word)

2. Jesus was seen by more than 500 people.

3. The placement of the grave clothes

1. Risen means alive.

2. Because Jesus is risen from the dead:

a. We are never without hope.

b. Jesus is reigning

c. There is a man Who sits upon the throne.

d. He will make all things new.

e. We have the power of the Holy Spirit.

3. If Christ has not been raised from the dead:

a. Christian preaching on Heaven is a lie.

b. Christians are not forgiven but are still dead in sin and separated from God.

c. Eternal life is a delusion, and we are to be pitied, not followed.

d. Christian belief is useless and invalid.

1. There is more evidence not to doubt than to doubt.

“Jesus’ resurrection has more eyewitness evidence to support it than any other event in ancient times—more evidence than the military victories of Julius Caesar or the first Olympic games or the death of Alexander the Great, enough evidence to convince thousands of skeptics over the centuries and millions of seekers. Jesus died as the result of a brutal execution on the cross, but death could not hold Him. He rose alive and stands alive in heaven today—our conquering King.”

Douglas Connelly and Martin Manser, What Christians Believe: Moving Your Faith—Or Flock—To the Next Level (Manser and Connelly, 2020), 144.

2. Jesus is the absolute leader for our spirit, soul, and body.

3. Belief in the resurrected Jesus changes everything--even a wretch like us.

Bottom Line: He is forever risen, so we can be too. (The proof of eternal life.)
