Luke 24:1-12; 1 Corinthians 15:1-22 Last week: I asked what would you list as the TOP 5 most important dates in history? - The Resurrection of Jesus is the greatest news ever. - Bad news: (Matthew 16:21) - Good news: (Luke 24:1-12) - The Resurrection of Jesus reveals God's power. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) - The power of the Gospel. vs.1-4 - The power of a personal witness. vs.5-11 - The Resurrection of Jesus gives us hope. (1 Corinthians 15:12-19) - The Resurrection of Jesus transforms our lives. (1 Corinthians 15:20-22) - Jesus did not die to make good people better, Jesus died and arose from the grave to make dead people come alive. What am I to do? Respond to the Gospel and the Greatest News Ever. - Believe and Receive: "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from The dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."
