Hallelujah! He Is Risen!
JESUS
WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE
WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE
2
Corinthians 5:21 (NIV) says
“God
made Him
who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the
righteousness of God.”
God
Himself provided the only sacrifice (Jesus) who could atone for the
sins of His people. God’s perfect Son fulfilled God’s perfect
requirement of God’s perfect law.

Without
the sacrificial death of Christ, we would still be in our sins,
unforgiven, unredeemed, unsaved, and unloved. But, thank God, the
story of Jesus Christ did not end with His death.

THE
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

Corinthians 15:12-19 (NIV) says
“But
if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can
some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there
is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so
is your faith.
More
than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we
have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead. But He
did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the
dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
And
if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in
your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are
lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all
people most to be pitied.”
JESUS
IS ALIVE AND WELL
IS ALIVE AND WELL
In
John 14:19 (NIV), Jesus said “Because
I live, you also will live.”

If
Christ was not physically raised from the dead, He would have been
just another false prophet to be ignored. We ourselves would have no
hope of resurrection and all believers should be pitied. Without the
resurrection, we are still sitting in darkness and in the shadow of
death. With His resurrection, we have a living Lord, faithful to
His Word.

Corinthians 15:54-55 (NIV) says
“When
the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal
with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:
‘Death has been swallowed up in victory’.
‘Where,
O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’”
Romans
4:25 (NIV) says
“He
was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for
our justification.”
1
Corinthians 15:3-5 (NIV) says
“For
what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that
Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was
buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the
Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.”

And
In Matthew 28:6 (NIV), the angel said “He
is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place
where he lay.”

HALLELUJAH!
HE IS RISEN!
HE IS RISEN!
As
Believers, because He lives, we can face tomorrow with all its
uncertainties knowing we will spend eternity in Heaven with Him.
