Part 7 of 8: His Resurrection

However the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus is an event that is very uniquely different as we will clearly learn today.

His Resurrection

1. Prophecies of His Resurrection

The death of Jesus was real and may have seemed like the end to His life on earth.

Psalm 16:10 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. 

The miracle of resurrection requires overcoming the power of death

The end of the song of the suffering servant Isaiah 53:10-11 10 ... He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. 11 As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; The end of the song of the suffering servant also clearly indicates His resurrection

The resurrection of the Messiah was surely God’s plan but His death was REAL.

2. His Resurrection

Jesus was aware that after passing through death that He will be resurrected. He taught His disciples about His death & resurrection but they were saddened.

Jesus taught the Pharisees about His death & resurrection. He also emphasized the duration of His death. Matthew 12:40 40 for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Read also Matthew 27:62; John 2:19, John 16:16)

Thus not only Jesus but His disciples, listeners but even the Pharisees were aware that He will be resurrected 

He was resurrected after 3 days as testified by angels, biblical facts & witnesses.

Matthew 28:6 (Read also Acts 2:24) 6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.

His resurrection is unique because He rose to never die anymore.

3. His Resurrection & Us

We can experience these 3 blessings by His resurrection: I. Our new life.  (Romans 6:10,  Colossians 3:1) II. Our resurrection.  (Romans 8:11,  1 Cor. 15:20-21) III. His power in us.  (Philippians 3:10,  Romans 8:11)

Conclusion His resurrection was a real historical event that took place to transform our lives.
