The Power of His Resurrection What the Resurrection Means to the Christian Philippians 3:10-11

The Resurrection of Jesus One of the single most important (and contested) historical events of all time Celebrated by millions on “Easter Sunday” The true meaning is lost sight of in all the unauthorized, religious pageantry

The Resurrection Tells Me… God’s Word is True Concerning the fact of the resurrection (Psa. 16:10; Isa. 53:10; Mt. 12:40; 16:21; 17:23; 20:19; 26:32; Jn. 2:19-22) Jesus Died To reconcile man to God (1 Cor. 15:1-4; Rom. 4:25; 6:4-11; 10:9; 1 Pet. 3:21)

The Resurrection Tells Me… God is Powerful In raising Jesus and transforming us (Mt. 22:28; Jn. 10:18; Ac. 2:24,32; 3:15,26; 4:10; 5:30; 10:40; 13:30,33-37; 26:8; Rom. 1:4; 8:11; 1 Cor. 6:14; Gal. 1:1; Eph. 1:19-20; Col. 2:12; 3:1; 1 Thess. 1:10; Heb. 11:19; 13:20) Satan Does Not Win Over Jesus or faithful Christians (Gen. 3:15; Jn. 12:31; 14:30; 16:11; Heb. 2:14)

The Resurrection Tells Me… God Has a Plan For Me Beyond the grave (Ac. 17:31; 1 Cor. 15:20ff; Jn. 5:29; 6:39; 11:24-25; Heb. 6:2; 11:35) There is a Reason to Hope For a better life (Ac.23:6; 24:15; 26:23; 2 Cor. 1:9-10; 4:14; 1 Thess. 4:14,18; 1 Pet. 1:3,21; Rev. 1:18)
