Resurrection Sunday

The Resurrection was:
1. a literal, physical, historical event - Acts 2:32

2. permanent - the body He'll have for eternity

3. planned - foretold, prophesied - 1 Cor. 15:3-4

The Resurrection is:
4. a declaration, a clear, emphatic statement......
of God's approval - Rom. 1:4
of Christ's authority - Mat. 28:18

5. the defining event of Christianity - 1 Cor. 15:14-19

6. The guarantee of our victory over death. - 1 Cor. 15:20-26, 54-55

So......... we celebrate what has happened. (Christ's victory)

We celebrate what will happen: at my death - 'cross over' - John 11:25-26
at His return - reunion of body and soul
at the final judgment - Rev. 20:14

We celebrate what is happening - He is interceding; He is interacting

We celebrate what can happen - to you.... if you've not yet received Christ - John 20:30-31

So, we're here to celebrate the Resurrection and here to worship Christ.
